It wouldnt idle at first. My Idle air control valve was screaming like a buzzer and grinding like a bitch. On the advice of Jay, i soaked the **** in carb cleaner and that fixed the problem



I flooded it right now, but it did idle for a good min before i cut it off. I didnt have much coolant in her so i didnt want to take that chance

Demetrious Came over tonight and we worked over the car a little bit. I didnt isolate the fuel pumps from metal and they were grounding out.



I am also going to make a slight change to the way the fuel lines are routed.



Now there will be two lines coming out of the tank. (one for each pump) I am going to use the charcole canister line for the second pump line. When it gets to the engine bay, the two feed lines will do directly into the primary and secondary fuel rails. They will then go to the FPR on either side. The return will be identical to the way it is now.



It is a safer way to run the lines.

I wish I would have known about the grounding of the pumps.. I still don't understand it but, oh well..



As for the seperate lines, how much boost are you running?
