So heading to work today my car just dies right in front of the Tacoma Dome. I was stuck in the middle lane and noone even tried to help me. I was sitting in the middle lane for just under 30 minutes when a cop finally showed up. Traffic was backed up as far as I could see. I mean miles. Then the cop stops all the lanes of traffic to push me off the freeway. SWEET!!!! So after fawking with it I realise there is no fuel pressure. So I take apart my FPR and clean it all up then it's good and I take off back to work. That lasted about 3 miles before it died again. This time I was in the right lane so I was able to coast off the shoulder... After 5 hours of waiting for my mom we lymped my car back home. I'm getting about 2 psi and not enough flow to go over 35 or up any hills. I think either the filter is clogged or the pump s gone. I got a new filter and it's going in tomarrow. If that ain't it who's got and external EFI pump that they can let go. I've got a stock replacement carter 12a pump and a Holley blue I can trade if anyone is interested. Along with the extra holiday traffic I sure fawked things up. LOL!!!!
p.s. Jeb I'm sorry about not meeting you today. As you can see I never made it to work. Myboss is pissed. I left the guy I was training all alone today...

That blows, What kind of pump are you looking for. I know that the early fuel injected cars, the ones with one big injector in a quassi carb thing ran like 12-15 psi.. I dont know much about the webers. Thats probably too much pressure.
