Is English your native language?? I find it difficult to figure out WTH you're asking...

What engine? What are your symptoms? You replaced the pump AND filter and have no fuel pressure? Is the pump running when you turn on the key?

What?

Proper grammar helps...

brother broke a fuel line. they went to the dealer and got a new one installed from the filter back (replaced the fuel line it sounds like)

truck wouldnt start, so they replaced the fuel filter. still won't start, so they repalced the fuel pump. They checked the fuel filter and there's no gas getting to/through the filter. no gas in the fuel lines it sounds like.

does this sound correct?

tyler88pu

yes that's what happen. It's a carbed motor with a mechial(spelling sucks too sorry)fuel pump. i took the new fuel pump back because we didn't think it was the prob. my father and i think that the lines need to be primed is that true?

it should prime when you have the key in the acc mode

you sure someone didnt get the fuel lines backwards..?

b/s rules

stock fuel pump?

Wile E. Toyote

It's a Mechanical pump, won't prime with key on.

Have you cranked it a lot? Might take a bit to get the fuel up to the carb.

tyler88pu

we try to reverse the line didnt' help and yea i've even try starting fuild like 4 times trying to "help"

have you tried starting it while spraying carb and choke cleaner into the carb?

it always worked with my 81 firebird... maybe it just needs that extra boost to get going enough to create a vacuum...

tyler88pu

u tryed starting fuild and i'm goign to try it again but still nothing

abecedarian

aren't there 3 lines to the pump? one fuel supply, one fuel return, one vapor?

tyler88pu

it's a mechial pump so it's not at the tank it's up on the engine

tyler88pu

im going to have to drop the tank and follow all the lines i dont knwo what my brother did but it wasn't right lol.

tyler88pu

anyone have a diagram of teh fuel lines from the tank into the motor?

abecedarian

Don't know if this helps:



The line on the left of the pump is the supply, the line on the pump- right / top, is the return to the tank, and the line on the pump- right / bottom goes to the carb.
