Default Problem

I think its fuel related.... the car runs sometimes, but others it just turns over, prime example when i went to take it in(decided not to have this place fix whatever the problem is btw due to outrageous prices) it turned over and started to run perfect first time, then i went to move it and it worked perfect again, then 3rd time it doesnt wanna start, just turns over, no firing what so ever. It hasnt ever stalled out on me and the fuel pump seems to be whirling whenever i try this.

Dont know if I told you, but gino's TA was doing that... He thought it was his racetronix fuel pump going out. Well, after talking about it, it turned out the connection on the backfirewall/above the rear end was loose. One of the male/females was a hit or miss. So, he made the female end of the fitting tighter and has not had a problem since.. Just, fyi.

had a similar problem with a fuel pump. the pump was kicking on and sounded fine. the pick-up tube in the "bucket" was coming off so it wasn't sucking fuel. so sometimes the car would just turn over and not fire.
