Engine bogging down

I wouldn't want to slap you 'there!' ever, but if 10 guys tied you down I might find a way to pour a cold beer on yer head, ah, err yer big head that is! Even then, that would be the last you would see of me! Man I know how to run, that's how I lived to be this age.

Mac.... I know we discussed this before, but I want to go over it again! I was talk to two of my buds at work today that build fuel injected race and street cars. told them everything that was going on and they both responded immediately with "FUEL PUMP". I had taken it off and cleaned it pretty good, but when i told them what I pulled out of the tank they said if I didn't actually take the fuel pump apart and clean it.... it will still be all gummed up and hence I have good idle.... but no throttle. what do you think? If this is the problem then I will be getting me a that mitsubishi fuel pump and trying it out!

For that dough get one. It sure can't hurt. I just didn't want to spend 500 bucks of your money....

well the pump I got is a bit bigger than the OEM.... I modified the mount a bit, but not enough where I can't put the old pump back on if I have to! I will put it back together tonight and see what we have!

Any chance of getting pics of both pumps side by side?

sure! After playing... there don't compare at all! Im going to test them together and see whats going on. I hooked my old one directly to the battery and it worked... I was running dry, so I will rig it to run some fuel and see if its actually pushing any! I have come to grips with my frustration though.
