I bought a stock running project car with a bad tail shift transmission. I pulled the motor and replaced the transmission with a freshly rebuilt side shift unit from 914 LTD.
After the reinstall I am not able to get the car running again. Things that I have double checked -Fuel Pump runs and primes when the ignition gets switched on at the key -confirmed spark at the coil and at the plug with motor cranks -can hear the injectors pump once while the fuel pump is priming and when you step on the gas pedal once. -confirm that the timing is set correctly, that the points are gapped correctly. - the car will run briefly on starter fluid. Any thoughts? Maybe and ECU issue? Where do the injectors get the signal to fire? Thanks! |

I think you've found your problem. The Y should be in the return part of the circuit, not the suction side.
The lines should go: - Fuel tank to larger center tunnel line - Larger center tunnel line to fuel filter - Fuel filter to 'S' port on fuel pump - 'D' port on fuel pump to passenger's side fuel rail - Passenger's side fuel rail to driver's side fuel rail - Driver's side fuel rail to fuel pressure regulator - Fuel pressure regulator to Y - Y to 'R' port on fuel pump - Y to smaller line through center tunnel - Smaller line through tunnel to tank It sounds like you have some hoses swapped. --DD |
