So... I am an ****.... I left my car outside for about 4 months and didn't put fuel stabilizer in her.
She won't start.... Changed the wires and the plugs.... so she seems to be getting spark..... had just changed the fuel pump before she was parked and I just changed the fuel filter. The fuel line seems to be pressurizing as when putting her back on I don't have crush washers between the banjo bolt and the filter.... so when she wouldn't start again and was leaking I pulled off the end of it... and fuel sprayed everywhere..... So it seems like there is a blockage somewhere else as I am not smelling fuel at all at the the engine.... which I should... Everything else seems to be chugging over... Thoughts? |

could be the pressure regulator isnt working or a vacuum hose has deteriorated somewhere.

I took a look around and don't see or hear any vacuum leaks at all...
Its just strange as it is just about catching UGH! As far as an FPR, I didn't see where there normally would be one.... usually it would be either part of the fuel pump housing for it would be just off of the rail... which I didn't see. It did seem to get better as the day went on... and I am hoping that it will fire up today.... |
