What does it mean when... fuel related question

Rotary#10 · 12-23-2008, 06:21 PM

What does it mean when you have no fuel pass the the engine bay fuel filter?... the filter only has about 6k miles on it. it shouldn't be bad.. i have fuel in the fuel lines at the fuel pump.. but no fuel on my plugs...its odd.. they smell of oil but not fuel.. car cranks ok... battery is fine.
its a 91 n/a FC...

just to make sure, you are saying you are getting now fuel past the filter?

Rotary#10 · 12-23-2008, 06:35 PM

sorry it wasn't too clear
I am NOT getting any fuel at all to the engine. grr its iratating at times .. figuring whats wrong..

pull the pump out and inspect the sock, tank, pump itself, etc. work from pump forward.

thats the only thing possible inless there is something stuck in the line.

Is the fuel pump getting voltage?
The ENGINE fuse tends to blow sometimes, and this will prevent the fuel pump from turning on.

UPDATE:

- Fuel filter is on the right way with 'OUT' facing toward the engine.
- the Engine fuse on the drivers side panel is ok
- there is continuity between a - c on the fuel pump connector, according to FSM pg.
F1-52 bottom of page under there fuel and exhaust section.

Fuel pump working?
Pull the fuel line prior to the fuel filter...
Does it shoot fuel when you crank?

Phoenix7 · 12-29-2008, 02:07 AM

It's not weird...it's either dead, clogged or not getting enough voltage.

EPIC FUEL PUMP FAILURE... !!! where is a good place to find one at a reasonable price ?
walbro kicks out too much fuel from what folks have tould me..

Get a good, used stock one.
Check out the classifieds or post a wanted ad.
Can't beat the stock unit for relibility, even though yours died.
