Well ichecked out the fuel pressure. 95-100lbs is not a good thing. I had known about the injector assemblies going bad, but not about the regulators. Before I did anything else, I decided to check the return line. Sure enough, plugged. We put 125psi in to it and nothing.
Unhooked the line down by the tank(previous splice), blew air through the line, not plugged. Figured it must be plugged in the ending unit or the short section of line before it. Went ahead and dropped the tank, blew air into the sending unit, not pugged. OK what the hell?
The only good thing about dropping the tank again was seeing the brake line behind it leaking. We put the tank back in and blew through the line again, and no restrictions. Tuned on the key, 60psi. Not sure why it wasn't f;lowing before but it is now.
Went to start the van and it wouldn't fire. Plugged the distributor back in
😳 , but still wouldn't start. Figured we fouled the plugs, so I changed them(not the funnest thing to do). Hit the key and fired right up and ran smooth. Bout friggin time!
😀
Still gotta fix the brakes. Got a feeling that will require replacing most of it, ie, steel line, rubber line, steel lines on the diff and prolly the wheel cylinders. Then bleed them which will prolly require replacing the calipers and maybe front rubber lines
. Then get some good tires on it, clean it up, post some pics, and call this one done.
I hope.
