Please help-Engine bogging

ddarkslayer · November 26th, 2009, 05:17 PM

So yesterday in the afternoon I decided to give my car a start up for the first time in a month and the engine bogs and dies at idle so far what I have done to the car is that I just recently installed a 255 lph fuel pump a brand new fuel filter. what could be the problem

ddarkslayer · November 26th, 2009, 05:19 PM

my car ran fine a month ago the only changes then was I installed a boost gauge and unplugged the fpr and plugged it into the 3 way vaccum fitting and the vaccum fitting goes in to the gauge and the other side of the fitting goes into the fpr and the manifold

check your fuel pressure, did you hold your foot in it so it warms up? or just stop after it died a few times?

ddarkslayer · November 26th, 2009, 05:42 PM

the motor bogs and spudders before the motor warms up Its almost impossible to get the motor to stay on

I'd hook a fuel pressure gauge up to the rail and see what kind of pressure your getting. Did you install the fuel filter backwards? did you install the sock right on the pump?

Did you mess with the timing at all?

no the fuel filter was put on right

I'm not sure what pressure I'm reading my engine would bog to hard to warm the motor up.
and the strainer is on the pump
