    Fuel pump cuts off after running for a few mins

    Horay! That's all the problem was. I probably cruised around for an hour last night just enjoying the car. If only it wasn't so pig rich...off to the dyno soon to tune her up next.

    Fuel pump cuts off after running for a few mins

    Well, after supper I worked up the effort to go and drop the tank. I got it down, pulled the pump out, and had to walk over to the light to give it the old stink eye once over (poorly lit garage). I started looking at the easy stuff, soldering checked out on the splice (i was worried, as this is...

    Fuel pump cuts off after running for a few mins

    Yeah, it sucks.... my pump is a Walbro too:shrug:. Hopefully its just something silly, but we will see. I checked out the inertia switch and its fine too. I will have the tank dropped tonight to have a look.

    Fuel pump cuts off after running for a few mins

    I just recently finished up my twin turbo car (94 gt), and after it runs for a minute or two, it dies. I had spark, so I watched the fuel pressure gauge, and sure enough, its at 39psi, then after a short time, it cuts right out, and stalls when it uses up the left over fuel in the rail. Then you...

    How are the winter projects coming?

    Well here's mine....I have most of the fab work done; need to start considering exhaust ideas. I wanted side exit, but I don't have sfc's yet. There's still all the wiring to re-work yet, oiling, and I need to spend some money on injectors, chip, hpx slot meter, hose couplers, and tune...then...

    My DIY turbo kit is underway...PICS!!!...AGAIN!!!

    Wow am i ever glad i came across this thread! I just started my twin turbo build on my 94, im using turbo coupe parts as well, but instead of the T3's, im using the IHI's from 87-88, still 7# i think. The only thing i did different is made exhaust elbow flanges instead of modding the cast...

    Shaker install!!....sort of

    I have to agree that in the pics it does look funny, being that you loose the dimensions of things under there between all the fiberglass dust and so on. It does look better in person, especially painted, with the weather stripping on. I will try and send some more pics when the sun comes out...

    Shaker install!!....sort of

    Oops, this time with some pics:D Im thinking i might make a trim ring around the shaker, then maybe a flat black stripe going up the middle of the hood too...

    Shaker install!!....sort of

    So after the winter, with the addition of the explorer intake, and spacer, etc i finally ran out of hood clearance. At first I had just cut a hole to clear the front portion of the upper, then that gradually turned into a bigger hole, because it looked funny. I couldn't convince myself to go and...

    Timing woes?

    I will definately look into their t.b's when i go to replace the stocker, it sure is a cow trying to get in there with a meter, i will have to recheck voltage while its running to make sure its good. It sure was hard to get a good reading in the first place, but I thought it was just due me...

    Timing woes?

    Last night i have a look around, and found that my idle adjustment was way out, from last time that I had it set and running well anyways. I found it at .67v, as where it was at .98 last time. I adjusted up the idle screw but couldn't fire the car to check how she was running....would have...

    Timing woes?

    i did check tps voltage back when i did the base idle reset, and correct me if im wrong, its been a while, but its supposed to be .98-4V idle to w.o.t. But i have been changing the idle screw since the installation of the roller rockers, and i have not re-checked voltage ( that makes a lot of...

    Timing woes?

    i have messed around with idle speed, and have done a base idle reset, but somewhere along the lines, ive probably lost the original setting. Right now it idles around 650-750 RPM at 10 deg

    Timing woes?

    it surges very badly and stalls anywhere more than 10 degrees, but keep it at 10 and its perfect. It just sucks, because it feels like im leaving extra power on the table. The car had so much better throttle responce with more advance, it just feels like im taking a step back when its at 10 deg...

    Timing woes?

    The car runs on 93, its an ethanol blend, but its the best in town....

    Timing woes?

    I managed to swap the intake without removing the dizzy, but the i didn't even think about the egr affecting the timing.....makes sense, you'd think i could get some timing out of it, at least 1-2 degrees though, its like flicking a switch, as soon as the car is off 10, its barely driveable

    Timing woes?

    So over the winter I added some bolt ons to the stang. Before winter it just had underdrive pullies, cai, deleted smog $ a/c. Now after the winter i added an explorer intake, 1" phenolic spacer, 1.72 crane/svo rockers, 30# injectors on fox rails with a kirban reg with a pro-m 75mm maf, 1 heat...
