swapped my fuel pump with a 255 lph

ddarkslayer · November 19th, 2009, 10:51 PM

So far that fixed my Idle issue but I have another issue. When ever I start my motor the MIL turns on immediatly. I have a stock Fuel pressure regulator. do I have to change that to an ajustable FPR. I have a feeling in my gut that the motor's running rich.

anyone I could really use the help

stocker works fine with the 255, ran it on my fox

ddarkslayer · November 20th, 2009, 12:32 AM

I hit it full throttle and my headers where smoking

93hatch · November 20th, 2009, 12:40 AM

sounds like a timing issue to me dude, go check it with a timing light

sniperd · November 20th, 2009, 02:56 AM

Yeah, Definitely not the FPR, Stocker works fine w/ a 255

Sure, assuming the stock fpr isn't broken. Get a guage on the rail to make sure.

stock fpr should be fine with the pump.. pull the vac line to the regulator and check to make sure there's no gas in the line. If there is then the diagram in the regular is bad and leaking which means you need to replace it but like mentioned above get a gauge on the rail and see what your pressure actually is

I never ajusted my timing ever It was running find with the timing. but does a fuelpump change require a timing

Retarded timing will cause high xhaust temps

I have a feeling the timing is advanced but I can relook that
