Re: 95 engine pop (backfire)
IT'S FIXED! I towed it to a nearby garage this am and told him what was going on (a young kid about 20) and he tested the fuel pressure and pump voltage in about 20 minutes. Voltage is great, pressure was not--because the pump was not running like it should when you first turn on the key--at times I could hear it run, but not always. He turned on the key, crawled under the truck, and tapped on the pump. The truck then started.
I left it with him and he replaced the fuel pump. It runs great!!!!!!!!!! No more popping and backfire. Idles a lot better and I even got a small "chirp" from the tires when I took off from a red light. I also had him change the oil, because it needed it. Total cost (parts and labor) $235.
SOOOO, now I get home and the wife wants me to trade it in!?!?!?! I think not!
Thanks guys for all your help.
