wierd walbro problem apeared
I had my fuel pump wire free in the car while getting everything wired and road worthy.
Last night I disconnected the main feed from the pump that goes to the relay. Anyway I was just taping the wire and getting the fuel level gauge connected. I tried a few times connecting different wires in the rear from the original harness to find the correct two wires. Anyways when I put everything back togather I started the car and it ran a little and then died. I tried to crank but no luck. I did however notice that the fuel pump sounded wierd, not the normal high pitch. It was more of a lower pitch sound and it was a little gargley (if thats a word). The gauge varified that the pressure was dropping to like 20psi.
So I ran a wire diretly from the battey and same thing. I checked the ground, nothing changed there, it's still the same way.
I suppose it's a bad pump but it probably only has 6 hrs total run time on it. And I find it funnny that it started when I was changeing the wiring. But like I said I ran another wire directly to the battery and same result. Battery is charged.
Could it be the filter? I have plans to change the filter but I haven't yet.

i would say maybe you shorted out the FP.

Well I pulled the pump out and behold there was no friggin gas in it. So to say I got my car back from my tuner, it wouldn't idle, and now it had no gas in it.
The plugs were so fouled it wouldn't start. The car is so flooded too that it won't even attempt to crank. So I'll wait a while and see what happens
