Fuel Pumps-Anyone who has bought a new one? Reply #30 – January 14, 2011, 12:44:59 PM Quote from: jcassity;349672I explained why i did not buy an expensive pump.I explained why I upgraded to a pump with a better L/hr diveryI explained its your callI explained the best way to actually troubleshoot the pumps performanceyou explained that i controdicted myself and told others what to / not to buy which is unexplainable.im just the dood over here trying to help and ending up looking like an ahole when im not.,,just simply stating the facts and pointing out the possible options you have and to include reasons why one option may not be what you want while the others are better.honestly, i think you may just speed read posts,,no biggie. I was not trying to make you look like an ahole. If that is how I came off, I a sorry. I think I understand. a 90l/hr pump is what you have and if when it starts to fail. it's still usable because it'll supply enough fuel where a 60 wouldn't. I was thinking in my head, a brand name 60l/hr pump might offer a longer life than a cheapo 90l/h pump. I do appreciate your help cassity.Quote from: vinnietbird;349640Stay patient. I'll pull the carpet and snap a pic next week (it'll be warmer) for you with some measurements. Much appreciated. Quote Selected

Fuel Pumps-Anyone who has bought a new one? Reply #33 – January 14, 2011, 09:32:59 PM I want a pump that will last as long as the first one, but a price friendly one. It's strange, the light hasn't come back. I plan on using a fuel pressure gauge and testing the pressure tomorrow when it's light out. We'll see. Vinnie, which pump did you buy? Quote Selected

Vinnie, which pump did you buy? honestly, i had to make mine because i didnt think i would need to do this test again.i bought a water guage that went to 100psi , some hose and clamps and a fitting that i modified to attach at the test point on the rail. I have a fuel pres tester but its hose is too short, shouldve bought the extention hose. Quote Selected

The hose should be long enough to at least ziptie to the wiper arm and go for a ride. We'll see. Quote Selected

Reply #43 – January 17, 2011, 06:44:58 PM Quote from: vinnietbird;349577I'm going to Ebay and getting one of the 255lph pumps for $45-$50.00 and give it a shot (yes,it's made in China). Will it out on me? Maybe....maybe not. It has a one year warranty, and with the fuel pump access panel in the trunk now, it's a 5 minute job, so, why not? Is this the one you are talking about Vinnie? I was thinking about picking one of these up myself....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/85-97-FORD-MUSTANG-255LPH-FUEL-PUMP-255-LPH-RACING-NEW-/320539082237?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4aa19e3dfd Quote Selected
Fuel Pumps-Anyone who has bought a new one? Reply #44 – January 17, 2011, 06:45:02 PM Alright, I tested the fuel pressure. Duct taped it to the windshield, and my father watched up. It never went below 29/30 psi. It went up towards 40 when accelerating or with a load on the engine, ran the car around for quite a while, didn't get low.I drove to boston today on the mass pike and the car did it. It is right around when the car shifts into overdrive, I almost hear a momentary ping, and the car seems almost "confused" as to whether or not it wants to shift into overdrive. If I get into the car a little, stepping on the car, the car seems to straighten out. Keep in mind the check engine light comes on. Could there be a tranny problem? Does OBDI even High Tech enough to know if there is a tranny problem? It doesn't store a code for the issue. I ran codes when I got home tonight, got the same ones as always, 67, then a 1, then 63 and 33. Whatever the light is, I doesn't store a code. So now we know it's not ignition, its not fuel related... What could it be!? Quote Selected
