Okay, i have an 88 hatch with an ls/vtec in it and it's ran fine for like 5 months but the other night it got broken into and hasn't ran since then, i'm not sure if it's related but could very well be a prank cause the theif is a true enemy of mine.
It's not getting fuel to the fuel filter, i pulled the line off and check, so, i dropped the tank and undid the line at the pump, and i have fuel shooting out. so, has anyone ever heard of a fuel line becoming clogged? that's the only thing i can thing of but i just want to make sure before i run all new hardline to my filter from my tank. thanks guys.

 

come on, somebody? any ideas or agreement?

 

check the line between the pump and thee filter??

 

table sugar in the fuel lines/pump? The guy might have put sugar in your gas tank. It crystalizes in the injectors, clogging them. I believe you can get your car towed to a shop that cleans them. ALthough call around first....

Or worse: sand in the tank: that would destroy the motor.....(if i'm not mistaken)

These ***** dont know ****...
Your said your dont even have fuel coming out of the pump... right at the pump....
wierd.. u shoud hot wire the pump and put it in a bucket or something.... it would have to be a power proble, or something.. also i know u have tryed for than one pump.. so ... let me know.... SPook

 

If sugar got in the tank it is not the end of the world. It won't crystalize in the injectors but it will clog your fuel filter. You have to clean it out and keep changing the filter till it stops clogging. I would take a wire snake and see if i could probe all the way from the tank to the filter, both being disconnected of course. Something is going on between the filter and the pump. Just jump in there.

 

Very easy to check for clogged lines. For the main feed line, disconnect the banjo bolt from the tank, and from the fuel filter. blow (or use compressed air) through the line towards the pump. Same for the return line.

mayeb they stole your ecu so your main relay is not turning on fuel pump ... give pump 12v since you already dropped it, if it works then turn on ign swi and see if pump primes for a few seconds, if it doesnt then trace power to FPR output on ECU, if ecu is still there.
