k, seriously...









ok, for real this time....


without going back and re-reading the pages, this thing will not idle or accelerate on its own.

ran better with the return line pinched off.

this indicates fuel related.

the fuel pressure dropping like a rock when shut down indicates a faulty check valve if the return line is pinched off.

fpr would not cause this issue. at least not that i am aware of.


how do the plugs look now??

did you take a vacuum reading??

you *could* have a restriction in the exhaust. a quick and easy wayo to check would be to remove the o2. if it runs better then suspect a restricted exhaust, most likely the substrate in the cat. or pieces of said substrate in the muffler...(no, won;t affect the fuel pressure dropping off like in the vid...)

so i'd check that.

i'd also get a fuel pump that doesn't have a fault check valve.



better now??
