Well, I was priming my oil pump today with a electric drill. I turned the key to the acc. possision to see if I had any oild pressure. well after about 30 sec. I started spraying fuel from the back of the fuel regulator. I guess when I replaced it with an AFPR I didn't tighten down the bolts. (I could have sworn I did thats another story.) The fuel started spaying everywhere but seemed to concentrate on the the drill. Thank god none of the sparks from the brushes in the motor caught or I would have been in real trouble. I will definately have a fire extinguisher on hand when I start the car now. Anyway, this leads to my question.

When you turn the key to the acc. possision should the fuel pump run?

Thanks and let this be a lesson always check the bolts to make sure they're tight!! (This is more directed at myself then anyone here) especially ones that involve fuel.

 

mine does, and its brand new, so my guess would be yes...

alright cool. I had to do some splicing to get the new engine harness to fit, I just wanted to make sure I did it right.

 

two more quick questions. does anyone know what size the screws are for the FPR? I think they are 3.5mm but that seems like such an odd size. Also what size torx bit is suppose to be used for them. T10 seems a little small and T15 is to big. Is there like a T12 or 13? Thanks
