Re: Re: metro fuel problem female needs help.

[quote=Crvett69]i would suspect either your throttle position sensor is bad or your fuel pressure OR flow is to low. can sort of check flow yourslef if your carefull and have a fire extinguisher handy. remove return line where it goes onto metal tube at firewall (its the smaller of the 2 going to throttle body) place end of tube in a glass container and have someone start engine. should see a steady stream coming out of end of tube, if its just a little dribble or none at all then your filter is plugged or pump is bad. if flow is good then i would probably suspect the TPS. before removing hose loosen gas cap or pressure in tank can make gas run out of firewall tube before you start engine.[/QUO

I bought a fuel filter and he is going to try and change that soon. So that will be another step to try. He said that when he goes to change the filter he is going to check the gas pressure. I guess instead of doing it like you said he will do it from the fuel pump. Will that work the same way? He also looked at the converter and said that it's not plugged. So that's not the problem.
