OK, I finally got spark in all the spark plugs and my fuel pump is working but I don't think the spark plugs are getting enough fuel, because the car starts but will not turn over. The fuel injectors are pulsating but very little fuel is coming out. Maybe my fuel rail is bad or just clogged up? I don't know, can anybody give me some advice.

I would check the gap in the spark plugs to make sure those are correct. The fuel rail could be plugged or bad as well as the injectors themselves depending on how long it's sat and where is sat before the install. I would try cleaning them. The fuel pump may be working, but is it working correctly? Is it the correct size?

That's the one thing about mechanical things... There are usually more than one variable that could be affecting things.

Hope this helps,

Paul

Ok thanks, I'm going to try and get some new injectors cause I was thinking that might be the problem too. I didn't know that their was different sizes in fuel pumps so Im going to look into that too. I'm sooooo close to getting this car started. Thanks alot.

[james-dean85]

Sure thing. Hope it all works out for you.

check the sump baggy thing on the fuel pump. that could be clogged too.

I finally got the car running today, turns out it was the injectors all I did was put on some injectors off of my buddies old engine and it started right up. Now all thats left is to tune it and get in on the road. Im going to post pics for everybody.

nice to hear

concgrats on the fix, since it sounds like u havent, u should think about putting a walboro fuel pump in. its worth the 100 bucks and also comes with a little piece of mind

[immadawgs13]

OK, more problems!!!!!!!!!!!! I took your advice and bought the walboro fuel pump because for some reason the fuel pump stop working when I put the car in the on position. I installed the fuel pump correctly but it still doesnt come on. I'm starting to think that the fuel pump relay has gone out because it was working fine when it started cranking up. I need help on this one cause I went to Advance, AutoZone, and Napa auto parts, gave them the part number for the green fuel pump relay. When I gave them the part number they came out with a gray fuel pump relay and told me that it still will work, its just an aftermarket part so its a different color. I put the new relay in and nothing. I can't figure out what it is but I narrowed it down and that has to be the problem. Maybe this has happened to somebody else and I can get some input. Thanks
