I finally got that IMTV off. Didn't see anything. So I took the plenum off for shits and giggles. No clean spots or fuel puddles. So I went to the salvage yard, found a running engine, and got the fuel setup out of it, just to see if my injectors were bad. Only paid $58 so no biggie, but anyhow, now it won't start at all... lol So today, I'm switching back, then back to the drawing board. What had happened last month was a wire beneath the steering column had been pinched, and caused two wires in the harness to burn. Those were fixed last week, for $700, and what I'm starting to think is that when I replaced that fuel pump a few weeks ago, the existing short may have damaged the F.P. b/c it ran great for a week after I replaced the damn F.P. then started acting like shit again on me. That's when I discovered the wire damage and had it fixed.

are you getting fuel and spark?

Got great spark. Replaced everything except the distributor base itself. Checked that already. Fuel pressure was only 12-15 psi when I checked it before the guy got it fixed when he repaired the wiring. That lasted for all of 100 miles before it started running like dirt again. So I'm thinking the short he repaired did damage to the F.P. I don't know. Replacing the fuel pump will be the last thing I do before I just give up. This is my only vehicle, and time is of essence... Ya know?

fing your f.p fuse and see if you have 12 volts to both sides- should have 12 on one side and turn the key on and have 12 to both sides

You mean the relay? Or is it a fuseable link?

relay I believe that is how it works or go to where the fuel pump plugs in and see if you have 12 volts there

Will do. AFTER I go back to my original injector and spider setup...

Here's the last thing I'm going to try. I'm going to bypass the factory wiring from relay to pump, and replace it with 12 ga. Same with the ground. I'm also replacing the fuel pump as well. Will have some news tomorrow.

NOTHING! NOT A DAMN THING. New freakin everything and the sorry POS is STILL not running. I GIVE UP

shanes76 · #57 02-11-2010, 07:22 AM

did you see if you had 12 volts at the pump? change the relay with another one and see if that works

I fixed it... I put a new injection system in it, including the F.P.R. I think it was needing the F.P.R. however. I replaced it all anyhow, because all the sensors got replaced, and have new plug wires, and fuel pump. The gas mileage oughtta be phenomenal now though! I can actually use preventive measures to prevent ANY build-up in them now. The damn truck runs twice as nice now. I thought it ran like a scalded dog before... lol

I got Brand New setup. Board Warner makes a setup for @ around $279.99. I spent nearly $300 May as well, right? Everything I put on it was new. Now I can maintain the performance of my injection, and keep it nice. Better Gas Mileage too! She runs TWICE as nice now. So I have 2 extra Injectors...
