Mike kZ Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 Well I finally took my car out for it's first long trip (5 miles )and it didn't make it! I was on my way to see my engine builder buddy and at 4 miles the car died, and I glided into a gas station. After tring to restart the car I noticed I didn't hear the fuel pump comming on. Checked the fuses, but they were good. Touched the pump and it was red hot! F#$%ing pump!!!Had to have her flat bedded home. Not sure I trust another Edelbrock pump, I've heard Holly make a good one. What about the Ford truck unit, anybody know if it flows 45 to 50 lbs? Is this the EFI pump from the Ford F150Van that we've all been talking about? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=597347458 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 That really sucks...did you find out the cause? Dirty fuel clogging the rotors inside and causing it to get too hot or something? Hope you have better luck with the next one. Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted November 8, 2001 Author Share Posted November 8, 2001 I took it off last night and the fuel was clean. Don't know why it crapped out? Called Jeg's where I bought the ProFlow, and gave them the sob story. They are going to replace it for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
