I seriously need some help. Just bought a '90 camaro. had been sitting for years and didnt think to drain the fuel. it ran fine for a day or so, then started spitting and idling up and down, and just did not want to run. changed the filter, put in injector cleaner, checked injectors, checked plugs..everything fine. Hubby says the cone of fuel from inj. is not as strong as it should be. we are trying NOT to have to change the fuel pump because we all know what a pain that is. Does anyone have any other suggestions before we have to break this thing down? Thanks to all who can respond.

 

check fuel pressure at the rail with a guage.
they are not that expensive at the parts stores.
pull all the sensor plugs off then run it see if its ok.

 

we checked everything we could but now.........its still not getting enough fuel pumped up to the injectors, so.......out comes the tank. and its a pain to get that thing out. any other suggestions or an easy way to change this pump? really need some help here. thanks guys!!!

 

I took my exhaust down. then out came the rear. the rest was completely simple..I dont know if you have to remove the rear but i was putting in a new one anyway...dont sweat it just bite the bullet and do it..

 

I did the same thing. Took exhaust off, lowered my axle, and that made the job much easier.

 

well ok.......we cheated. hubby has a crazy cousin that came over and cut a hole in the trunk, luckily it was directly above the tank hole where the pump comes out. put the new pump in, covered the hole back up, and voila'.....cranked right up and idled perfectly. I know some of you may cringe when you read what we did, but hey....it worked and now I get to drive my car, and you cant even tell where they cut. looks good, drives good, I'm happy. lol thanks to all who responded and for all your help.
