67325, new fuel pump install related questions
Posted by HiOnPSI, Jan-25-04 05:07 PM
I just bought and installed a fuel pump to fix the old one that went dead. With the old one, when it died, i was getting about 20psi roughly idle. With the new one, i get no fuel pressure. It primes and i can hear it running, but I'm not getting any fuel pressure. The car will start and idle but doesn't have enough fuel to do anything but idle. Do you think I could have reversed the polarities? i'm pos/pos and neg/neg. Everything is wired correctly and i can't find any kinks. once again, any ideas?

Did you put the pump on backwards?

I think you should take it off and test it.
