Alright so... I was pressure washin the engine bay awhile back. Afterwards I went to start the car and no joy.. I hooked up the fuel pressure gauge and it barely moved the needle when cranking. Fuel comes out of the test port but only slowly. I can get the car to run but only if I full throttle the TPS sensor and prime the engine with either gas or ether. After I get it to idle with feeding it gas it will run on it's own at a high idle. Still no visible change in fuel pressure. So??? Did I get something wet? Why would the pressure be almost nothing but enough to still run the engine??

Hmmm.... Thanks

The Car is a 1992 Trans am. 5.0 Speed density. Pretty much all stock.

 

check the fuel pump fuse its in the engine compartment it think its by the rh headlamp not sure on fb

 

Alrighty... I did some checking. It is not the fuse or the relay. I jumped the relay and I can hear the pump kick on. I still have no pressure at the rail. So either the pump can't manage to put up enough pressure and it's fried. Or the line is clogged somewhere, maybe the filter. I don't think it would one day run fine and the next not if it was a clog??

 

One last post before I rip out the tank and replace the pump. I replaced the fuel filter and tried that.. NOPE... I then check voltage at the tank. 12V... I then clamped the return line to see if it was the pressure regulator.. Still no pressure. I do have flow still but barely enough to fill a 20oz bottle in a couple minutes. So??????? Anybody have any last minute ideas?????

Thanks
