Default Nice!!

My dad just told me the fuel pump went out!

*sarcasm*


Now to spend over 200 dollars on the fuel pump. The acceleration is a hose leak issue. I went to autozone to get my car scanned. That and more codes.

Yep.

Pontiac. I dont know why you created such a complicated car. But I guess since I got it for looks...I may as well struggle to keep this car alive.

Is there a 3rd party manufacturer who creates an easy access fuel pump port?

you got way in over your way when you bought that car.

2 ways to access the fuel pump:

drop the gas tank
or
cut a whole in the floor over the fuel pump

I did the cut-a-hole method. Worked great. Only had to spend $100 on a Walbro and about an hours time

Is there a way i can make my own access to the fuel pump? Perhaps a little door or something?

assuming I did the cut a hole method.

Do yourself a favor since you have to spend $200+....get the Racetronix set-up. Then you'll be good to 600+ RWHP in the future.
