Some quick help please

I did already, here is a video of basically what it will do. Sometimes it starts right up sometimes you gotta turn it over a little bit, but it always cuts out.

hmmm Does it only rev up to 2k or will it go over?
What about the fuel pump connectors? They could be grounding out or wiggling around.

[homegrone30]

Well the fuel pump works when I jump it but I did notice that it dosnt turn on with the key on accessory but it does turn on as soon as it turns to start.

[homegrone30]

Oh and I definetly got it to go past 2k once.

Well the fuel pump works when I jump it but I did notice that it dosnt turn on with the key on accessory but it does turn on as soon as it turns to start.

it's supposed to do that, I would check the connections, they loosen with age. This case seems extreme, but I have a friend whose car would not start fo hours, then start and run badly. We soldered new conectors on and insulated them and now he has no problems. The same happend to Dilsnick's car i believe.

You know the p.o. did say there was an upgraded fuel pump. Which connections are you talking about? The ones under the rear seat?

[homegrone30]

Ok well I just tested the fuel pressure and it seems to stay at 37-38 psi while cranking and it dosnt seem to hold that well so I guess I'm checkin out the fuel pump today...YAY!!!:(

[homegrone30]

Ok well I tore the back seat off and got to the pump and it was very obvious that someone else had been there. So after figuring out what was what I found that the p.o. bypassed the low pressure pump with the new one. Is there any reason why this could be the problem? The car seems to have enough fuel pressure so I dont really know why it would be a problem. On a side note a friend came over and I finally got to check for spark at the plug while cranking and it was more orange then blue. So I checked for power at the coil and it was just .10 volts lower than the battery. I dont think that's enough to kill the spark, but I could be wrong. So Could it be something in the ignition system?

[homegrone30]

Ok so the fuel pump pressure does not hold at 30 psi when I shut the car off which is what my manual says. Also I put my pressure tester on and while cranking the pressure looks good then when it starts for that little bit it drops below 30 psi and the car dies. So i decided to pinch the return line and presto the car fired up and ran, it was rough but it ran well enough to rev it up and clean the gas off the plugs and eventually died. So tomorow I guess im gonna go pull the pump off my parts car swap em and see what happens.

[homegrone30]

Ok so I changed the walboro pump with a stock one with no luck. The car does seem to be staying in spec as far as fuel pressure though. At this point im really questioning the wiring harness. Mabey the injectors or the coil isnt grounding properly? SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!

[rustybullet]

never mind.

get some ether and see if the car stays running by just spraying ether into the intake. if you can keep it running as long as ether is getting in there i would assume its a fuel problem.

check your fuel pressure relay.

[delatlanta1281]

So you checked/replaced the connections to the fuel pump? did you jiggle them while having someone turn the car over?

[homegrone30]

Which connections are you talking about? The ones under the rear seat? No I didnt change them but I really dont think that could be it the fuel pressure gauge dosnt drop while cranking.

[delatlanta1281]

yes, those, you never know. I have seen this happen before.

[homegrone30]

Well I kept my hand on the connector while cranking and I could feel the pump pumping the whole time I was cranking. Im really starting to think its an igntion problem since I dont have a blue well defined spark as stated by my manual.
