Means your motor is missing and/or knocking because she's not getting enough fuel.

You gotta pull your LTFTs up on your scan gauge and tell me what they are at idle.


But honestly, all these signs are starting to point to a lack of fuel due to a bad fuel pump. Did you get the pressure checked like I asked you to?

no i didnt get the pressure checked because i didnt have time today, and im not knocking because I am not registering any kr on the scan gauge.

Could you make a trip up here on tuesday John? Is it the fuel pump or is it the fuel pressure regulator?

I don't get off of work until 7:30 tuesday night.

I'm really thinking it's the fuel pump. It's the only part of our cars that tends to work some times and not others.

And your car won't even look for knock until it's up to running temperature.

You never did replace regulator, did you, when you found the milky fuel while replacing fuel filter.

A quick and easy way to check the regulator is pull the vacuum hose going to it when it's not running. If gas comes out, it is bad. Normally that would dump too much gas though.

i have no idea if the reg is blocked steve. I never once stated that it was blocked. I have no clue what is wrong. Im guessing its the pump....

I'm stating, the milky substance when changed the filter, is not passed the filter and in your regulator. So whats good a new pump is, if the rest of the system won't allow the pump to do its job?... You dig Timmy!

L67 fuel pump is a 2-speed pump designed for a boosted engine, if you're changing yours I would highly recommend using the L67 pump and enabling it in your bin.

well that does me no good now zalfrin as i ordered the l36 this morning. No one responded to this yesterday to tell me about the differences, so nothing i can do now. If it will be that big of a deal I will also order the fuel pump rewire.

steve, i will soon find out if the pump is good or bad. if the pump doesnt fix it, then i will be buying a new regulator.
