After removing a pile of vacuum hoses and other assorted BS, I found out where the fuel leak was. I originlly though it was the injectors, but the FPD is leaking pretty badly.

So what's the easiest way to get that POS out of there? I already have the ACV and coil rack off the car and most of the vacuum lines replaced.

Anybody got a line on a new or slightly used FPD?

 

Replace it with a new one.....http://rx7.com/store/rx7/fdfuelpulsationdamper.html
http://rx7.com/store/rx7/fdfuel.html something that shouldn't be takin lightly as its cause many fires. Also check the sticky threads in the 3rd gen section.

 

Easiest way? Bleed fuel line, the FPD has 2 philips screw holding it in. Best way, replace all hoses and clean injectors with new o rings. Might as well be thorough, since you have to tear a lot out just to get to the damn thing.

 

In the past I had felt it was necessary to get a screwdriver onto those screws, which means pulling the fuel lines out. Or at least removing the fuel line leading to the FPD, unbolting the primary side, and tilting that side up.

But a sturdy pair of pliers (I use electrician's pliers) works great for grabbing the screw like a bolt and turning it loose. (Hit it with PB Blaster to start). You can try that first, but if you're having trouble don't do it - too much fragile stuff nearby (harness, OMP lines, etc) in case your tool slips or something.

I agree with Bad_Karma7, I would replace the rest of the lines in that area, and send out the injectors for a cleaning. Money and time well spent.

i just sold one for 50.00 new in the box, some people rmvd the FPD, go to http://www.banzairacing.net/ and in the how to section is the FPD elimination

 

to play devil's advocate: dont you remove that fpd lest ye have more faith in your injectors than me
