Oh well, my link to the write up was deleted by dgeesaman. No worries, I'm sure there are plenty of other good write up's about this on the forum and as long as members can find their answers, thats all that matters. If you have any fuel system related questions please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer them. Just trying to help out the community. I would post the write up here, but my internet is extremely slow here in Afghanistan.

And for rosrex7, I would first replace the fuel pump since you say it is not working and go from there.

It would great if you could copy/paste what you wrote and attached there to a thread in here.

It gets all political when linking to other forums, and in many cases attachments and stuff get lost or broken. If you post it here it will be maintained.

I sent it to you. If anyone else would like it, please PM me. I would copy everything over, but it would take a ton of time doing all the photobucket and youtube stuff. My internet is very slow here, and what little time I do have when I finally get back to my little wooden room at the end of the day isn't going to be spent redoing the writeup. Not trying to get involved in any politics, just want to help if someone needs it.

i would say go will Ray at Malory Mazda or if your going aftermarket i would go with a reputable company.

you dont want to take a chance with your fuel system so ebay is out of the question.
