fuel
 

Hey everyone just joined the online world of Z's. I have an issue that could use some assitance. My '78 Z had a couple fuel leaks that I believe to have fixed; replaced injector hoses and o-rings in the fuel pump. But now it wont start:017:. Im getting pressure in the fuel rail but there is nothing coming out of the return line. I dont know if the whole system needs to be bled or what. Your help will be much appreciated.

Welcome to ZDriver! :006:

Have you verified that your new fuel pump is actually running / priming?

I dont know if it is priming but i can hear it running and i have checked fuel is coming to the fuel rail

If it is running it may just be clogged up and mearly making noise with a dribble to the engine. You need 35 psi for the injectors to work right. I you don't have any return fuel it means the pressure regulator doesn't have enough fuel pressure to even open. Check your fuel filters.

thanks for the advice. I ended up buying an OE replacement pump and is running great
