OK I just posted a thread about some performance stuff for my 89 super coupe.
but I am having some trouble getting it running.
I just installed the new starter and got that knocked out of the way and the guy I bought it from said it needed a fuel pump.
I havent checked fuel pressure yet but after getting the gas tank half way out (pain in ***) I checked to see if there was any fuel flow at all, and sure enough the pump is working but I dont know how great, or bad.
The car doesnt even stumble or anything when trying to start, I sprayed in some carb cleaner while cranking and got some nice stumbles which lets me know the ignition system is working and possibly the ECU, I dont know how the ECU is setup on these cars but on most the ignition and fuel are all tied together, which means if no fuel-then no spark either.
Now like I said I dont know the fuel pressure but there is pressure, with the fuel pump working (even if it is weak and old) I think I should still get some nice stumbles out of it but I am not.
So know I am kinda stuck, I only checked the fuel at the fuel filter, I havent checked at engine because I cant get the connectors off.
other then that anyone have any ideas to throw out?
any help is apreciated and thanks in advance
