fuel pump going bad?
 

do fuel pumps slowly ---- out or do they just stop working only?

today my ---- wouldnt start good, then when it did it ran at like 200rpms for a sec like it was barely running, then slowly gets up to normal idle after 15sec or so. but it doesnt fire right up. its like 8 cranks or so not the usually 1-2


its happened a few times in the last day or 2. maybe its not my fuel pump at all?

im running uberdata and dsm 450s. my shits only at like 5psi right now cause my wastegate is weak or somthin.

its the stock pump on a 96 civic

Electrical pump ussually just stop working. Unlike vacume pumps like mine on my b2000 that just died slowly. i could be wrong but this is what ive experienced.

get a walbro 255 for those 450's that should help.

electric pumps die slow too.

Check your fuel pressure.

try turning the key to on and letting the pump prime the system first....maybe its leaking down the pressure over time

ya i know i always let it prime.

im still tryin to get hole of a fuel pressure tester that connects to my car. got one from a friend but it didnt screw on my filter or anywhere
