You can 100 % rule the crankshaft positioning sensor out lol.

92hatchback · April 23rd, 2009, 12:33 PM

havent got a chance to pull a plug just jumped on here to see what you guys say, ill go do that. and why is the crankshaft positioning sensor ruled out?

93mustank · April 23rd, 2009, 12:35 PM

Cuz you dont have one

91Project · April 23rd, 2009, 12:39 PM

check your fuel pressure? Did you pump whine real loud before?

92hatchback · April 23rd, 2009, 01:00 PM

ha yeah i was gonna ask if i even had one, didn't wanna sound dumb. But nah i think its the fuel pump its not whining like it usually does when i turn the key forward its not doing anything.

grnstang · April 23rd, 2009, 01:00 PM

CHECK PLUGS. when is the last time you did a tune up? leaving things like that for a long enough period of time will cause the car to quit starting

92hatchback · April 23rd, 2009, 01:06 PM

oh yeah i forgot to say i checked the plugs there perfect, i also have spark. i just did a tune up probably 2 months ago.

91Project · April 23rd, 2009, 01:08 PM

Yep, looks like your pump took a dump... Good time to upgrade... Silence as you turn your key to the acces. position is always a good indicator of that.

92hatchback · April 23rd, 2009, 01:10 PM

yeah kinda figured that. changing fuel pump easy task?

91Project · April 23rd, 2009, 01:13 PM

Its not bad... I have done plenty off the ground in my driveway. Hopefully your tank isnt very full, thats kind of the make or break item on how much of a pain it will be. Its also helps if your strapps arent all rusted and the bolts arent siezed.

92hatchback · April 23rd, 2009, 01:15 PM

yeah, i think im at around 1/3 or 1/4 of a tank.

91Project · April 23rd, 2009, 01:16 PM

It should be prety simple... I would rate it as a 3 or at most a 4 on a 10 scale.

92hatchback · April 23rd, 2009, 01:17 PM

alright, is the pump on top of the tank??

91Project · April 23rd, 2009, 01:19 PM

Yep, drop the tank, pull the pump assy. out of the top of the tank, Pull the pump out of the housing, replace, put back together, and your off to the races... ( obviously I skipped over the little tid bits, but you get the idea... )

92hatchback · April 23rd, 2009, 01:21 PM

haha yeah, thanks for the help. any suggestions on a pump to go with, or should i just stick to the stock replacement. Over the summer im looking at doing a gt40p heads and cam setup. don't know if i should get an aftermarket one since im doin a lil modding.

91Project · April 23rd, 2009, 01:26 PM

Walbro 255. It will handle any fuel needs you could possibly have...
They are around $100 everywhere...

M L Struck · April 23rd, 2009, 01:29 PM
