fuel pressure ?
The car I boughts fuel lines were leaking so they were replaced with high pressure rubber lines. Will these not hold enough pressure and cause problems? Just wondering if this would cause the motor not to start. It starts with starting fluid only because the fuel pump is fried. I have a new pump that works, but only wondering if rubber lines will create a problem. The reason I ask is because the car was never tried to start with the rubber lines.

No...as long as you use fuel injection hose specifically...even using non FI hose probably wouldnt keep the car from starting (how could it), but it would be very unsafe!

I dont know that they are FI specifically, but he said they were high pressure and he got them at a parts store, so I hope the store would give them the right stuff.

It will say on the hose..high pressure fuel line or soemthing to that effect.
It'd be hard to mess up if he asked specifically..Carbs operate at like 5-7 psi and FI is like upwards of 60-70 psi.

Have you even put in the new pump yet or your saying you have one that works your going to put in? I'd be more worried about swapping pumps that whether you bought the rat, I mean right (
) hose...check the lines like J said too.

Jumper the yellow test connector in your engine bay by the shock tower. Turn ignition on (DONT START THE CAR). Listen for pump, look for leaks, let run for about 1 min.

Gotcha, the old pump is just shot, but I think its weird seeing the car only has 64k on the clock. And in my 87 the yellow connector is green, same thing right? IN my 88 it was yellow.
