Change the fuel pump on the 89 coupe a couple weeks ago. Old one was noisy, and I could not decide if it was just low on gas or the pump was gone.

New Zone fuel pump.

Thurs nite, I went to go pick up pizza for a get together, and she stalled about 500 feet from the house. With help I pushed her back.

Testing, the pump ran and seemed to prime with the key, and with the jumper. No fuel pressure. Only one small squirt of gas when pushing in the valve. Fpr holds vacuum. She fired right up on starting fluid.

So pulled out the new fuel pump and the supply hose clip had never been tightened and had pushed back off the fitting, letting all the gas just dump in the tank.

New pump and shes good again.
