after the fuel pump rewire with a FD fuel pump ive been skeptical about if i hooked it up right so i made a little video to see if its pushing enough fuel out so heres a video and tell me if its all good

My low tech computer won't show the link. So.....will you describe what is to be seen in the video?

 

dead link..

 

well its like pouring watter out of a glass. it doesnt shoot out with alot of pressure its just coming out of the tube. goddamnit i need the fawkin video to work

I think it should be pushin more than that. Just my opinion.

 

thats with no engine in my car and no grounds and that is 11.9V

 

hmm i dunno i had that line capped with a fuel pressure guage in line.. and it blew a hole in the side of the hose i was using to t into.. about 75psi.

your seems like a little less than that.

 

ic. i guess im gonna have to mess around with it then. ugh

 

anybody else

 

Sorry i dont know how in english

Avec la grosseur de ton tubing, c'est normal que ta pression ne monte pas tres haut. Si tu met un manometre au bout, tu vas creer une obstruction et ta pression va monter beaucoup plus haut.
Ton debit est toujours le meme mais ta velocite va changer.



But i dont know if it is enought anyway.

 

Fuel flowing out of an open pipe won't tell you anything. You need to measure the pressure between the filter and the rail.

 

so i have to have the engine in?

 

umm... strange, i thought you would have to have a fuel pressure regulaor, and inline fuel pressure guage to accurately tell anything. Yes... thats coming out like pouring into a glass.... but what else is it supposed to do? Theres no restriction to up the pressure (restriction coming from fuel pressure regulator and fuel injectors.

but i could be wrong.

 

i did put my finger over it and didnt put much pressure on my finger it would shoot out kinda or spray out from my finger but it wasnt like a garden hose.

 

how would i go about checking the pressure

 

FSM page F2-45.

 

After seeing the video, man things don't look good. I would check to see if any of the pressure line is kinked or bent anywhere... usually when a pump is turned on you should be able to water your neighbors flowers from across the street when things function properly. Only on certain models (precidia) where you have to crank to get pressure.
Hope this helps!!

My french buddy kinda touched on it there: There's no way from looking at that vid to tell if fuel pressure is sufficient.

That's actually a lot of gasoline. Find a cc/min spec on your pump & retest it. Withouth a regulator & running engine, nm pressure. Ya need to ensure Volume is sufficient.

j.p.

 

i think i mixed up one of the red and blue wires because i didnt label them when i cut them.

 

Might want to make sure your fuel filter isn't clogged up.

 

cleaned it out before i put the new pump in

 

well i messed with the blue and red wires and it didnt make a difference in what combination they were in because the pump turned on either way.
