kiwi303 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 fuel filters, pumps can't pump if they can't get the fuel to move it around. you don't specify type belond "car", S30 L6 I presume? Carb or EFI, so if EFI, try cleaning contacts on the injector harness. Others should pop up with other ideas in due course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleaf Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Put a Fuel pressure gauge on it. Sounds like you have a clog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
