    Ls swap cranks, no fuel, no start

    Got it running. I connected the fuel feed line and return to the regulator backwards based off some misinformation on the interwebs. Thanks Ostrich for that link.

    Ls swap cranks, no fuel, no start

    Ls swap cranks, no fuel, no start

    hopefully I’ll have it tomorrow. If the fuel pump is getting power and I’m not getting fuel to the rails, wouldn’t it either have to be the pump or regulator? My main question is can a bad corvette regulator not allow any fuel through.

    I don’t have hp tuners handy but I’m trying to get a friend out to the house to check it out. Would checking the signal just be to verify the pcm Is functioning or?

    Power steering trouble.

    I'm not quite sure, could the fluid not be making it from the pump into the pressure line?

    Probably worth a shot.

    Power steering trouble.

    I'm suspecting a blockage within the re manufactured ps gear box. I pressed the pulley on with the correct tool, sits where it should and rotates without issue.

    Power steering trouble.
