Here we go again, people would try to save 10 bucks to buy a cheap filter when many owners have proven that they cant generate enough fuel pressure to run. duh

 

He already said he put the old filter back and it does the same..... So its not the filter..

 

Did you knock a spark plug wire off?

One more thought, Pirhana... the TIIs have a dual-pressure fuel system. The pump should recieve a low voltage (9v) when not under boost, and recieve a high voltage (14v, ideally, more like 12v) under boost.

One more thing to think about...

First off, Tmak, you can keep your lame comments to yourself. I did not know that aftermarket filters were not as good as Mazda, who the hell would be cheap on 10 bucks when a car costs thousands of dollars? Does that make sense? Not really....

My spark plug wires are fine, and everything sounds ok anyway.

For fun on my way home today I let the rpms slowly climb up to the 3500 mark, and instead of seeing my A/F meter go up and down, it hit stoich and stayed there. I even gave it a tiny bit more gas and it was still ok (light load). This leads me to believe that it is a primary fuel injector, and I'm goign to go clean them.

No7, I actually rewired my fuel pump on Sunday, and voltage wise it is MUCH better. It wasn't too bad to do that, only took about 3 hours.

thanks for the HELPFUL comments guys...

 

Have you put a fuel pressure tester on the outlet of the fuel filter. So that the tester was the blocking the fuel from going to the injectors.
I believe 80psi approx is what you need.

Here is a link for my cheap fuel pressure tester. I know you have one but here is how I did mine for other folk.

 

yes, I had the tester on the inlet of where the fuel goes into the engine. Also.. the fuel pressure is supposed to be 34-39 psi according to the factory manual.

I cleaned the injectors (soaked) in Simple Green,, off of a "tip" from a friend, but it hasn't done anything.

Tomorrow I'm going to swap secondaries and primaries.
