Believe it or not I have had a few pumps not want to prime up. All I did was give a shot of air into the tank and they took off.


Tried that too...unfortunately still a no go...

Regulator hoses aren't switched, I've checked and rechecked them numerous times. And if by the "Does fuel pump if line is removed from pump?" question you mean if I have it still have the hose running from the tank to the pump attached with nothing on the outlet attached, then no, it doesn't pump anything through. Fuel will get to the pump but not go through it.

Yeah I was kind of surprised myself, after checking everything over and over again that's why I was so convinced it was my tps. But it looks like my fuel pump was just going out gradually. I guess what I just don't understand is why it still sounds like its running? I guess maybe something just clogged up on the inside?

Ok stupid question .Is the wires hooked up backwards on the pump ? I had to ask. It is possible the check valve on the outlet of the pump is jammed(where blasting them with air pressure pops it back open) . I still have some fuel pumps left from the sale earlier this year.

Nope, wires were on right, I wish it would've been that cheap of a fix laugh.gif And Wistech, if you'd send me a paypal invoice to "ze89f" I'll send you the money asap. what's the price on those?
