Posted by namelesselcipse, Sep-09-01 12:16 PM
Ok I have mostly everything hooked up and ready to go....problem is that the FPR is really hard to hook up....How do i get the return fuel line back to the new FPR...I know the one that comes with the new FPR goes back to the stock FPR...but the return fuel line is really short and does not reach the new FPR....also how do you hook up the map sensor bypass....I read how to do it and look at the diagram...but dont know where the hell those things are.... (ignition signal and map sensor wire)....Please give me some help please....these are the last steps other then hooking up the vaccum lines to get this project finally done....Thanks for any help!

I had to take the line off the stock FPR from the tank and connect it to the Vortech unit and use the hose they sent to connect teh vortech to the stock fpr. I believe that is how I did it. Anyways you have 2 hoses there. find out which is longer and use that one from the vortech to the tank.

Those lines go into your ecu under the hood next to your battery. If you still can't find them, write me back and I'll look up the location numbers of hte wires for you. good luck

Thanks....I did get some help and everything seems to be running now.... I do sense there is one more problem...correct me if im wrong....but when I let my car run it sometimes stalls out on me...I started the car up Monday night when i finally completed the install and it had a hard time staying on...it kept dieing on me....then after about an 4 times of turning the car on and letting it cool down it worked fine and then i let it idle for about 20 mins and it didnt stall once...but Tuesday morning I started it and was letting it idle when it stalled out again after about 2-5 minutes...could i still be having a problem or is this just the engine and computer still trying to get use to the turbo....Thanks for any info....

Sounds like the symptoms of a vacuum leak to me.

thats what i was afraid of....all the stock vaccum lines should be fine though right? and do you think i should get a vaccum gauge or just get one of those vaccum testing thing(have no idea what they are called)

*should* be, and *are* are two different things.

Go over all of them, just to be sure.

Are you getting a CEL, by any chance?

Is your map sensor thingy adjustable. I'd look there first
