do you think passlock has anything to do with it?

do you think passlock has anything to do with it?

also i didnt purge system of air after install because i figured full tank of gas should i of done that? Haynes didnt mention it thought ide ask though thanks for the reply

I've never heard of a reason to purge the system as it isn't a completely sealed circuit. It has to cycle everything through the tank sooner or later and the air will purged from the lines then. As far as I know it doesn't take more than a few minutes tops.

i dont think it is passlock because that will cut the fuel off completly and not let it start. and it will flash security on the dash. you will have to leave the key on for 10 or 15 mins to let the passlock clear then you can start it.

i would guesss you just had some bad luck and got a crap pump.

I AGREE
