aight I just bout a 88 crx si for 100 bills and I'm trying to drive it to my house and here's the problem i'm having ....

1st its cold as f*ck
2nd Its like 5pm and have no light
3nd I have spark and it will start if i spray starter fluid in it ...

so im thinkin tomarrow it's a bad fuel filter ,
or the fuel pump is bad which i'll find out tomarrow ...
you guys have any other idea's ?

 

awesome tons of help...... bump

 

bump

 

can u hear the fuel pump priming when you turn the key?

if you cant or its really weak...then theres your reason why u only paid $100.....fuel pump needs replacing

 

yeah you can hear it working so im thinking the filter is the problem ... 100 bucks but.... gonna cost me more need work lol

 

well as you say
- you have good spark
- can hear it priming clearly for its full couple second duration
Loosen the pressure nut on top of the fuel filter that relieves the pressure from the Filter to Fuel Rail (line). Is there any fuel that comes out of there, because even if fuel filter is clogged.,,,i would imagine atleast some fuel getting to the rail...
but either way change the fuel filter.....if the old one doesnt want to come out of the mount....just disconnect the lines and put it on the new one right beside it as you only need to troubleshoot here....

dont say its cold..lol....just suck it uop and dress warm...i have no garage and its -25 in winnipeg and i installed my header and did the MPFI swap outside.....just change the filter as it WILL eliminate alot of other things

I on the other hand am a puss and it hurts when you hit your hands in the cold...

 

lol...i know all about the pain...the sad thing is you dont feel anything when its real cold....but once your hands start defrosting when your inside the house...then the pulsating pain comes....ouch...cant wait till spring

and you cant even wash your hands for a little while because warm-hot water amplifies it more..lol ghetto winter

 

aight guys thx forthe help i'll let you know how things go tomarrow when i get the filter changed bump for good fella
