I GOT SPARK, but fuel is a different story

[Widebody325]

Well, I bought the correct DME unit, and that was defintely fixed the problem. My dme before had EWS or was just bad. SO, I got spark, my injectors are firing, but there is no fuel delivery. I put my head under where the fuel pump is, and when I turn the key I can hear it humm, but no fuel is being pumped. And yes, there is gas in the tank. What else could it be? My sending unit? I think I am going to pull the pump tomorrow and check it out. Im gettin real excited, shes so close to starting.

I bet you reversed the fuel lines from the frame rail to the fuel rail.

Nope, that was one of the first things I checked, because I have done that before. I disconnected both lines, and checked it out. Nothing out of either of em.

Then either your pump is bust or you have a blockage. Bad filter?

Yeah, I was thinking that too. But the car ran perfect beforre I pulled the M20 out, and that was in November. Im gonna get a new fuel filter anyways and see whats going on under there.

there are 3 lines. supply, return and evap. double check. did you keep the charcoal canister w/ e36 elec valve? if not, you could have capped the supply line vs the evap line. dont ask me how i know. (the 86 has the filter right where the late models have the canister.....shame on me.) cheers, jason

update?

THE MOTOR IS ALIVE. After sorting out some fuel supply issues I got the motor running. Idle's perfect and revs like it should. (And yes open headers sounds really badass) I havent taken the car for a drive yet. I want to make my exhaust system first. I got about 4 more hours of fabricating for the exhaust, then I should be able to take it for a spin. I also still have to get the temp gauge and the tach working. I will post pics this weekend if all goes well.
