boy, you might have a mess on your hands... Posted by DougM [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Your pump should not be running constantly, ray, Wed, 27 Oct 2004 14:23:53 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
if there is unknown stuff getting to the fuel rail, that means it's getting past the filter. You might want to flush, flush, flush that system, all the way to the fuel rail where you had the hose off. I can also imagine those particles clogging the injectors and/or the fuel regulator. I'm not even sure how you'd go about cleaning those injectors. Possibly hold them upside down and spray brake clean into them, same goes for the regulator....and the tank?? flushing it with gas can be expensive with the high cost of fuel, and who knows if you'll get all that crap out of it. If you remove it to try and clean it out, like Kevin said, since it is baffled, some of the crud may get caught in the baffles and not want to come out.
Thinking out loud >> after you flush out the system the best you can, I'm thinking it might be a good idea to replace the rear filter again, and maybe add another filter of some sort in-line the feed hose in the engine bay. The more filtering the better.
