Yes the noise your hearing is your fuel pump. when you turn your key to the on position the pump should run for 5 seconds then turn off unless you start the car. If the noise from your pump continues to get louder then the pump could be failing, or something could be obstructing the fuel flow causing the pump to work harder. If the hose from the sending unit to the pump is stock it could be dried out and cracking which would cause an air leak, This would also cause the pump to whine or get noiser and eventually fail.

I wondered about that, I always thought it would be a good thing for it to kick in and run while the car was on, especially if the temp was high. I'd have to do a test to see if mine is working at all.

This would be a good question to ask the guys over at z31.com, I know a few of them have done that swap.

So the injector fan is designed to kick on when the temp reaches 219F?? I thought the fan only kicked on after the car was turned off. John

When this problem happens do you hear the fuel pump get louder?

Judging from the pictures they are totally different, the last pic shows bars that go down into the foot well area of the driver and passenger. The first pic and the second pic only shows bars for the rear of the car.

Ok, so how do I measure the mm of a exhaust/intake valve?

Well, I certainly qualify as the newbe, although Im planning on a engine swap its from a 83NA engine to the 83 Turbo engine. Yet I've had the car for the past year and todate I've not really done any mods. I've been tinkering with the car keeping it running and learning everything I can about its design.

Well, on the serious side, Mars is one harsh mistress! Just talk to any of our finest solders that drove through the desert to take Bagdad this past year about the sand and what it does to every piece of machinery. I imagine some of the dust storms that kick up would be like a commercial sized sand blaster! then you get to deal with radiation, heat, cold and oops watch out for that ravine we missed on our super duper telescope pics. Now if it is those extra large breasted amazon alien women, then I will volunteer to be the ambasador for earth!

I watched that show as well! I couldn't believe how big that industry is.

Which issue of car craft has a wright up on megasquirt??

Hey guys is tonight still a go? I haven't received a call from z Rex?

I've pulled the sending unit out, visual inspection doesn't show any dirt or rust in the tank, but that doesn't mean theres not a bit in there still clogging up the line. I will be dropping the tank soon and taking a look at the pump to see whats going on. Thanks for the info.
