YES MORE FUEL PUMP ISSUES!!!
Hello, i need help in a major way if anybody has any information. 1987 iroc lb9 but now it has l31 vortec but still tpi. original fuel pump bit the dust after 30 years so i ordered a walbro pump, installed it and car ran great for 2 weeks than would not start no fuel pressure. so i thought well maybe i just got a bad pump .so i decided to go back this an ac delco pump, installed the ac delco pump and ran great for 2 days now no fuel pressure again. WTF!!!!.this time i dug a little deeper and thought maybe its just a relay or something, but i jumped the ALDL on the fuel pump circuit and i have 12 volts all the way back to the tank. has anybody ever seen this where 2 pumps bad in a matter of 1 month??? i mean i guess its possible but damn the original pump lasted 30 years. need help before i send my car over a bridge. thanks
