Hey guys, I just finished putting my car back together after rebuilding the trans, doing an intake manifold and some top end gaskets, replacing the fuel pump and putting some new exhaust pieces on. Yesterday she made her first drive out of the neighborhood and ran great but when I went to start it back up to go home it would just turn over and wasn't even trying to start. I got some carb cleaner and was able to get it to run so I knew it was a fuel issue. I then turned the key on and messed with the fuel lines near the filter and towards the tank and hit the bottom of the tank trying to jar the pump into priming and it did and I was able to get it to run. It drove home flawlessly but this morning I go to start it and the fuel pump is priming every time the key is on, but when I hit the schrader valve it has some pressure initially but after that there's no continuous flow. I'm wondering if there is a check valve stuck somewhere or if my pressure regulator is bad. It's just strange how it's priming and has no pressure after. Thoughts?
