I discovered with a replacement >pump just how under pressure the fuel delivered was... That's good news! I'm yet to try the simple idea of swapping the fuel pump currently in my 8V turbo car with the one that I'm assuming to be good still mounted in the tank of the donor car. Once I receive a package of AMP connector parts from Eagleday.com I will repair the hall-effect wiring harness and see if I can get the engine to run. So far I've done fuel pressure tests which seemed to give correct results, and I've changed the fuel filter as well. Last time I had the engine running it stalled when I tried to give it some more throttle and hasn't started again since. 8-) Craig. -- Craig's Saab C900 Page at | Craig's Classic Saab Workshop - Sydney .au http://lios.apana.org.au/~c900 | http://www.classicsaab.net and other URL's Email: c900nospam.apana.org.au | For Saab 99/C900/9000 Enthusiasts World-Wide!
