Hello,
Is there a fuel filter on this car? We couldn't find one when we replaced the fuel pump.

Also, Are the injectors sposed to feed a contant jet of fuel or intermitent like a sprinkler?

One more, Fuel line on the passenger side was loose.... rubber hose on a high pressure system. Is this normal?

Thanks.

Dan

 

The fuel filter is located in a bracket on the front passenger side of the engine block where the mechanical fuel pump normally is on carburated cars.

The Cross-Fire is a low pressure fuel injection system. It only runs around 13 PSI so it uses standard hose connections.

 

Thank you. Found it but the rubber fuel hose is very, very short. Typical?

Dford the short rubber line was meant to provide a flexible connection between the feed line and the block mounted filter. Sometimes people will trim a bad end instead of replacing the entire section of hose. I replaced mine with high pressure hose just for added insurance. I also relocated the filter from behind the alternator (great location..LOL) to the right frame rail. Also in the future I want to upgrade to a TPI pump with regulator.

The injectors do cycle but to the naked eye the appear constant. The fuel spray should be cone shaped. The CFI injectors are a bit noisy when operating properly - sounding somewhat like a ticking lifter.

Dens71TA is correct the factory gives 9 -12psi operating range for the system. This is similar to a "normal" TBI system. The front TBI has a compensator with the actual regulator in the rear TBI unit. The system actually likes 14 -30psi to operate properly.
