walbro 255 starting probblems
 

k i have a new pump in and now the car starts sometimes do i just need to bypass the ecu and run a hardware to the pump??? with a resister

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

first of all this is a tech question.. what car is it on. and it sounds like you dont have much gas in it.

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

i had this problem in a crx it was to much suction in the tank i wouldnt start, then you losen the gas cap and it fired right up. so i just ran no gas cap and never had the problem again

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

hope no one smokes near that lol...you sure you put it all together right with the sock?

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

yea i made a post about it and other people said they have heard of it and wasnt that uncommon and to find a vented gas cap. but i just said ---- it and ran nothing

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

walbro pumps need atleat a 1/4 tank or they just dont pick up fuel. 1/2 tank+ is best for the crx/civic 88-91 tank

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

man that sucks, must just be a problem on the older ones...never had that happen on 92+

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

truth^^ if you have the supplied sock without the install kit to lower the sock in the tank more or just reuse the stock sock..

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

my 95 goes past e and still putts along so your good on 92+

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

no i have pleanty of gas in it lol i have a ef with a p28 ecu chiped

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

ok when i just turn the key on the on postion it kicks on then once i crank it over my gas pressure goes to 0.
other times it doesnt even kick on.

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

maybe a loose connection on the pump

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

check to make sure the feed line isnt getting kinked and burning out the pump intermitently

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

Or the main relay perhaps, could need to be resoldered.
My walbro 255 doesn't have fuel pickup issues like you guys are saying, I can run that thing down almost to E before it starts to sputter. I had to order just the pickup, sock, and wiring separately though because I bought the pump off a friend that was meant to go in an EG, so maybe the 2-piece pickup/sock combo I have is longer than most. ???

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

i'm starting to think it was the main relay

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

ya thats what we was thinking but ok heres a dumb question where is the relay for the pump???lol i have been driving my car for the past 2 days with no probblems now. i have also heard that the main fuse could be loose also causeing it to happen.

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

must be a 1/2 assed install........

Properly installed Walbro will damn near suck a tank dry.......12.6 into 11.9 gallon tank!

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

It's located behind the dashboard on the driver's side, pretty much behind where the little pop down coin tray is. Take the tray out and you'll see it off to the left hand side bolted to the body of the car IIRC.

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

ok thanx

Re: walbro 255 starting probblems
 

I vouche for that also i ran below the e line on 3 ef's with walboros in them :) ran outta gas once and that was only because im fuel level gauge was off :7
