First of all - my engine is not running. The EGR system is packed with CARBON.

I will probably have to remove the Intake Manifold (IM) and get all the Carbon out from the
exhaust port into the IM all the way thru the EGR Valve back to the fuel spray portion.

I remember from one of my previous threads (with pictures) of how that carbon had TOTALLY
plugged up an IM from one end to the other!

SO..........I can hook up a good 12v car battery (I have two on my work bench) to the fuel pump
and see if it pumps fuel and check the pressure w/o having the engine run.

Questions:

1. How many gallons per minute should a good pump pump?

2. Once it is deemed a good flow, if I put a gauge on it (no flow allowed), what pressure should
I observe from a good pump?

3. How long should I let the pump run to make sure it won't crap out after a while?

4. That connector under the driver's seat - thats to the fuel pump no?
How can mine be unconnected and the fuel pump still ran when the key was turned on?

Please address all three questions.....

BTW - I had a VW Bus 20 years ago and it had an 'intermittant' bad fuel pump. Made my life
miserable and costed me a fortune to find out what was wrong with the vehicle!
.........Intermitant stuff is the work of the Devil! The devil exists and teaches Automotive Design!
