Fuel Issues
I finally have it running but like the rest of the build there is an issue.
I got it home arround 60 miles combined driving no problems. Then I was tuning it with my computer using the EBL that BobR built for me and I may be getting the hang of it. I had the top down the stereo booming and a VE learn going and went to work. I went the 6 miles on the hwy no issues and a smile on my face. Then I cut through town and it started bucking alittle. No biggie I am 7 miles from work. I didn't make it. It won't go above an idle. I towed iut home and attacted it the next day. I checked the fuel pressure and it is rock solid at 26#'s not moving a bit. I tuned on it for an hour. I took it for a nother drve and made it about 3 miles beor it happened again.
Everything is new but that doesn' meen a thing. Let it sit for 10 min. and you can get some rpm's. The pressure is rite at 26#'s at an idle but goes away when you give it gas and eventually runs out.
What is eeryones ideas? I screwed the afpr in and out to free it up but now it's been sitting and it will run. I tried the gas cap but that didn't help. Worth a try.
If everyne could chime in I really don't want to drp the tank and replace the Ffel pump if I don't have too.
