First, car was taken to a tuner to have it tuned for spray. Tuner had the same lean a/f as I did, so bigger fuel jet was put in to see if that didn't rich'n the mixture up. It did, along with more fuel pressure being needed. Car had a good a/f in first and second, but in third it fell on its face and was super fat.

I picked car up like that and was going to figure this out myself. This brings me to where I'm at currently. I put the 100 pills in and was seeing what's going on. No fuel is being sprayed, but when you take line off the plate and put power and ground to the solenoid it sprays so the noid is doing what it's supposed to do. Which is leading me to believe something is going on with standalone pump or regulator. Pump works tho, cause it's sending fuel to the noid.

Thanks for all the help so far.


Forgot to add, the A/F with the kit armed, and the bottle CLOSED is 12.2-12.5. Figured it would be a lot richer than that
There is only a couple of things it can be.

1. Being that the dedicated is older the fuel pump may being having an issue supplying the demand. (Flowing the dedicated while monitoring flowing pressure would tell you)

2. Fuel solenoid is having an issue flowing. (Usually from swollen piston or trash)

3. Blockage fuel system lines or discharge points.


I could pin point your issue really quickly if you want to send it in for us to check.

#1 would make sense. Plus it's leaking fuel from the rubber seal that's on top. The seal has expanded, crazy I know....
