  • fuel mystery

    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.

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

              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.

                    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.

                          Check timing, firing order, etc.
