hello new to the forum there seem to be a lot more people here as compared to the pelican parts forum. anyway ive got a 74 1.8 fi and im not getting any fuel pressure. the fuel pump appears to be pumping all of the fuel back to the gas tank instead of through the engine lines i can see the fuel coming in the "s" port and it appears to come out the "R" port with the y in the fuel line isnt it supposed to come out of the"d" port? the car has been sitting for 3 years i guess i gave up on it for a while. and ive even put a spare fuel pump i had lying around on it with the same result. is the a possible clog in the tank? maybe a wiring problem
Man, that sounds familiar! I just went through that with a newly rebuilt fuel pump. When I hooked it up, the car wouldn't start. I took it out and it was doing the same thing as yours
. I could not get it to pump out of the "D" port. I sent it back and HPH sent me a new one. I tested that one first, when I knew it worked, I hooked it up and it started right up.
I know that doesn't really help your situation other than to reassure you that the darn thing can and will only pump out of the "R" port. Wish I knew how to help you fix it, but I didn't dare to tear mine apart to see if I could fix it myself.
