Let me test my fuel pressure regulator first.

The documentation I got with the car says my Granatelli unit has just over 4,000 miles on it so I just feel like there is something fishy here.

well since the previous post didnt get much response I posted on tech and did a little research.

Sorry, Nate - one of the perks of switching over to OBD2 is that it's not as "open source" for tuning like the OBD1 LT1s are. It's one thing I'm bummed about with my dad going to a 98 Trans Am -- now we have to spend money to buy the expensive datalogging and tuning software instead of being able to do everything for free or cheap. Might be harder to find people who invested in HPTuners to be able to review your files.

Jon said he would look at it but he is in vegas right now.

Installation can have a lot to do with it... Might not even be a pump at all, could be a puncture in the hose on the assembly.

This is what I am working with.

Jeff will your pump just plug into this harness and let me use all my existing stuff?

[nascarnate326]

Got the Racetronix kit from Jeff(thanks again), and installed it last night. Everything went right together. The instructions are way over complicated but its done, and it runs!!!

Now have 65 PSI constantly. The timing is back down to 26-29, it was at 39.

As for my clutch, its perfect. Very smooth, very stock feeling. The pedal is now right off the floor about an inch or two, vs the spec 3 that was 3 inches off the floor. Its almost identical to my black car now.

Ive only got 30 miles on it but it looks like its good to go now. I couldnt be happier to have air conditioning

awesome news Nate, I meant to text you yesterday to make sure you had mail and didn't have any questions glad everything worked out

[nascarnate326]

The wiring was a little confusing, they truly wrote the instructions for a complete idiot to the point where it made it difficult for people with some knowledge to understand.

Drove it to work just now and everything's just like it should be

[nascarnate326]

Im going easy on it for at least 100 miles. Lots of new parts that I dont 100% trust yet.

Congrats Nate! Happy to hear it's back together and you're enjoying it again
