Will aftermarket electric inline fuel pump work w/ existing fuel pump still in tank ?

OK...
This may seem relatively dumb to more experienced MPFI V-6 Camaro owners, however I still think I have a fuel pump issue... and have a MSD high pressure electric fuel pump ready to go inline.


Approximate flow is 43 gph (282 lb/hr) gasoline (specific gravity 0.788) @40 psi and 12 volts/5.4 amps. Has 3/8-in. hose nipple Inlet, 5/16-in. hose nipple Outlet. Includes 2 cushioned mounting clamps and 4 mounting bolts.

As of now, I'm getting 22# fuel pressure at the Schraeder(sp?) valve... just enough to get the car started and idling for a few seconds... then it dies/stumbles wickedly at idle.

I changed the TPS sensor, IAC, computer, MAF sensors already.

Do you think this will work?
If so, where would be the best location for the electric fuel pump?

Thanks in advance for any/all help thay anyone can offer.

what gives???

I know Im new to this tech board, but I have seen a few good sights out there. Third gen is a great sight but every time I find a good topic I want to read, It gets deleated or someone jumps in and say's "DO A SEARCH" or " this has been discused " now this is fine on some things, but when you do a search you find nothing or more poeple telling you to "do a search" thats BS.

If the topic has been discused before just let it ride and it will dissapear in a few days.

The guys asking the questions want answers not someone telling them to look elsewear.

thundercat900,
I've ONLY asked them to delete the topic to save bandwith and negate repitition on this board.

Have no worries, it's a MUCH sought after topic... that if you SEEK you shall FIND.

Good Luck.

OH, you're so cute...

Verviticas,
I had forgotten that this is one of the Internet "tough guy" sites... where lamers hi-jack threads.
I've got some time, let's discuss what you've got on you'r mind young man.

Anyhow, I'd like to HONESTLY get this post deleted, as it's been addressed before... no use to waste bandwidth.

-Metal

BTW Veriticas... that's what a REAL Camaro looks like... now, get your shine box.
