My minds tellin' me no...

New fuel pump is in. What a PITA. Seriously. If it wasn't for the damn plastic 'lock ring' that holds the pump in, it would be so much easier. Instead, I had to buy a $20 tool that I most likely will never use again. Lame.
Anyway, it fired right up, and drove fine. I took it up through 3rd redlining every gear, and it seemed to keep up. Tomorrow, I am taking it to work, which will get the pump alot hotter, and then we will see if it has issues still. Still crossing my fingers that I can take her to DGRRX.

This morning I go out, and had every intention of doing the normal 'deflood' when I started the RX-8. Except I was tired, and forgot.
To my surprise, it fired right up, in fact, I don't think it has EVER started so quickly!!! Hopefully this was the answer to all my fueling issues.

Can't.Make.Up.My.Mind.

so as far as the flooding issues go with these damn things can you get that valve from mazda trix that bleeds the pressure back to the tank for the rx8? or is it only good for the fcs?

that would be considered treating the symptom and not the problem. And the Rx-8 is "returnless" with only 1 line going up to the rail.

Yep, what Paul said.
Hopefully the rich startup is gone. It fired up perfect this morning, the engine turned over maybe twice and it fired, with no misfire light afterwards. Stay tuned, lunch break is in 15 minutes.

Well, it started super rich and I had to 'deflood' before it would start. I am going to beat the shit outta it on the way home from work today. If the pump hold up, and I don't get power loss issues, I will take it to DGRRX. If it continues to be fussy, I'm rocking the Volvo.

Ok, last night after work, it fired right up. This morning it fired right up.
I hope the ECU is 'learning' since the pump was replaced. We will see. Right now, it looks like the 8 might make it to the Dragon.

The RX-8 has two chances for redemption at this point. As long as she behaves the rest of today.
Stay tuned for the after lunch update!

It started up fairly quick at lunch, but threw a misfire code and had a rough idle for about 10 seconds. We will see what happens after work.
I am fairly certain I will be bringing the Volvo to DGRRX. I just don't want to pop it right now. A rebuild/new engine will come soon, but I don't want it to be right now.
