Got a problem..
Got a problem.. ok so for the past few days ive noticed that when i run my car for alittle (1-3) at high rpm on the road and i go to push it real hard it hesitates for a split second then backfires. it doesnt do it all the time. only when i keep the rpm high for awhile. i knew that i had needed a new fuel pump so today i replaced it with the racetronix/walboro unit. after the install i took it for a drive and it Still does it. im sure its fuel related because it isnt all the time and goes right away after i lower the rpm (higher gear) as a side note. i dont think that my fuel regulator was hooked up properly... i had it hooked up but when i traced the hose back it went to nothing. does anyone have any feedback on this ?
the hose going from the pressure regulator goes to this weird T fitting that connects to the hose that goes into the cabine for the vent controls (which also hasnt worked for some time) and on the other side of the T was a hose that goes into the big wire loom that goes around the front of the car. i couldnt see where the **** it went to. i went along the entire loom and didnt see a damned thing. since i ran a new vacuum line from the manifold to the T (taking off the end that goes no where) my vent controls have worked again. maybe i damaged the fuel regulator driving it like that for so long ?

Verdad Gallardo yeah i did. it was a mix of afew things which added together to give me a headache and a half... first the pump went out. so i replaced that and it was ok for about a day. then i replaced the FPR and then it just got worse. i was like... wtf?? so i found out tha tmy coil wire was arcing so i replaced that and it still ran bad so i pulled the pump out and found that the hose that was in the racetronix kit had come off the pump. so i replaced the 5/16" hose with a 3/8's fuel line and used some good clamps and problem solved! i guess i didnt need new injectors after all but it doesnt hurt. im still waiting for my tune from Ion to come in before i put them in.
sweet, its always something with these cars!! sucks you had to pull the pump twice tho man. im gonna be doing mine next week is why i was asking, and im dropping the tank (swapping rears at the same time, might as well just drop it). just wanted to see if the pump fixed it for ya, so good deal man

ive become pretty proficient with pulling the pump out now haha. the rubber hose kept either falling off or rupturing at the clamp. i suggest you get a 3/8" fuel injection line. unless your kit comes with that see-through hose which ive seen on alot of kits. mine just came with a small piece or rubber hose that didnt last long.... i have a pic ill upload later 
had a problem like that a week ago ran some seaform in the fuel tank and cleared up the problem... sometimes moisture gets in the lines.. just could be a simple fix sometimes not all just some
oh dang! so it actually needed a bigger hose huh? thanks for the heads up, ill make sure to do that in the first place. also, on a hijacking side note, got promags on and they clear fine,thanks for your input on that issue as well 
hahan man the hose is abit expensive but WELL worth it. today was the first day in about 2 weeks that ive been able to really get on it and it feels great! and your welcome man. i kinda wish i had gone with the pro mags instead of the ultra golds. but you live and learn
