fuel mystery

[georgeb]

Finally got everything hooked up on '93. Won't start. Have spark. Injectors clicking. Pulled pressure hose, gas sprays. Starts on ether. Checked return side: Nothing. Worked VAF, pump running, no gas out return hose. Pressure regulator completely blocked? Seems like it would at least start with pressure in fuel rail. Lost.

hello?

Seems like the lines are backwards

I compared it to my '92. I'll check again tomorrow.

Fuel inlet goes into the rail and the return goes from the regulator back to the tank, im pretty sure.

Happens to the best of us, sometimes more than once!

We (me and daniel) have done 2 bp swaps, like 5 b3 swaps, and a couple b8 swaps and everytime, we end up doing this. Most of the time a good blast of fuel in the face lets us know that the lines are backwards lmao.

Top of the fuel filter goes to the top fuel inlet on the fuel rail. The other hose goes to the bottom fuel return line.

I put fuelines on backwards when i did my b8 swap did the same thing so take everyones advice and let us kno your results!

[georgeb]

Lines were backwards. Pushed on vane, hear fuel in plumbing, still no start. Won't start on ether. Have spark. Smell gas. Can fuel pressure reg be ruined from backwards hoses?

So where do I start with a situation where it has spark but wont run on ether? Also, I lost a CV clip and have the inner cup held into the trans with a broom. Does anyone have any laying around? Thanx.

Timing belt skipped? Kinda need more info.And those clips are available thru napa for cheap.

Check timing, firing order, etc.
