Diagnostic Pros....Here you go.

I was driving my car on Sat. to my fiance's house and made a left hand turn. Since then my POS has no acceleration, stumbles, and doesn't want to go much beyond 3K on a free rev. (no Load, N or P). I hooked up a Fuel Pressue gauge and it doesn't even register. I put a new pump in it 2 weekends ago. I just put -6 Braided lline from the sending unit to the fuel pipes. That includes new -6 Earls Fuel Filter. I'm guessing since I also just put my AFPR on that I've got an injector or two stuck open. If anyone else has any other ideas please clue me in.

Thanks for the looks

Chris

Actually, check your plug wires... sounds like the same problem my 4bbl 350 has because my #7 keeps popping off the plug.

Given that a stock TPI runs fuel pressure around 40 PSI having NO fuel pressure wouldn't result in a poor-running engine. It would result in a NON-running engine. Anything below about 25 PSI and they just don't want to stay running. You sure about those fuel pressure readings?

yup, as it turns out the rubber hose connecting the fuel pump to the sending unit had a large hole blown in it. Then (I'm guessing) while removing the sending unit it pulled the hose off the sending unit. I replaced the pump and the hose and I now have 52 psi at the rails key on engine off. I was too lazy to check it while the motor was running but I know I'm getting enough as it's runnin' like it was before the line blew.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Chris
