Hey guys, a further question. (As a last resort) Since my fuel pump is staying on when the ignition is turned on, could I run a toggle switch in-between the FP signal wire to "ON/OFF" the fuel pump when I need to shut the car off? (my inertia switch is still working in the circuit) I will be keeping the key (ON/OFF) ignition part of course and turning the car off by the key then shutting the fuel pump off by toggle switch. I'm wondering if the fuel pump being running at all times is necessarily bad if I start and turn things off at the right time? And my pressure regulator being replaced, working correctly (further explained below).
With that method could I still use the stock DA1 ECU or should I go ahead and install my mega squirt gen 2 ECU if going with this method. I DO NOT want to fry the ECU's. I'm not sure if I sound like I don't know what I'm doing with wiring but I'm new to the fox body game and want to do things right with the painless harness. The last owners had their way with the wiring. I'm in this project deep and I'm not turning around. I'm determined to learn everything mechanical with this car myself so don't say "Take it to a shop". I sat in the car tonight and looked at the wiring to refresh my memory of how things are and since the Painless is a stand-alone harness just for the 302 engine itself. IF I install the aftermarket gen 2 ECU. Could this toggle switch idea work?? This method is only a last resort. I still want to figure out why the pump is staying on and try to get it back working like factory ( meaning ecu priming for 5-10 seconds before starting). But if I don't I want to know about the toggle switch idea
Also, I believe my Diagram in my regulator is shot and is staying closed not holding pressure, causing the gas to just shoot back into the return side of the fuel rail back to the tank (If that's how it works).... I did spray it with carb cleaner when I had everything removed. Could that ruin the rubber diaphragm inside? Fuel pump regulator/ fuel rail noise will be the next task after figuring out what I can do with the fuel pump itself.
Thanks again.
