i'M HAVING ISSUES WITH MY FFP. wHEN I'M DRIVING AND I MASH DOWN ON THE GAS AT AROUND 4K MY CAR SLOWS DOWN DRASTICALLY. i'VE CHANGED OUT THE FFP A FEW TIMES. ANY OTHER IDEAS? i WANT TO GET AN ADJUSTABLE FFP BUT TALK ABOUT EXPENSIVE.

 

um... did I miss something? What's an FFP?

Google searched...

Family First Party?

Fresh frozen plasma?

Fund for Peace?

 

My Bad I'm Drawing A Blank On What Its Called Dammit!!! Stupid Migrane.. Ffp Is A Fuel Flow Proportioner (f-16 Thingy)


Fuel Pressure Regulator I Mean... Thats It Right?

 

Ah! yes... fuel pressure regulator (FPR). Adjustable ones are cheap... it's the rising rate ones that are expensive (and not needed on a non-turbo motor). Why do you suspect the fpr? Have you tested the fuel pressure & a/f ratio at the time it loses power (aka fuel pressure & a/f gauges)?

 

Nope Cause I'm Driving On The Freeway When It Happens. I Had To Get A 30 Day To Drive Legally Until I Can Get Me Lights Fixed

 

Hook up a fuel pressure & a/f gauge to diagnose the problem. I personally think it's more likely to be an AFM prob than FPR, especially if you've just replaced the FPR.

 

Ok Will Do, Where Do You Get A Adjstable Fpr?? And How Much? LUCKILY I HAVE 3 OR SO AFMS SITTING AROUND. i'LL DO THE REBUILD ON THE ONE THATS ON IT NOW, AND ADJUST IT.

 

ebay... I have one just like this (Works great as an ajustable fpr... the only draw back is that is doesn't hold fuel pressure when you turn off the car... and the gauge isn't liquid filled, so you don't get a super accurate reading... but for $20 ya can't beat it): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RED-F...86068590QQrdZ1

 

hmmmm looks good, post a pic of it on your car?

 

 

so stumbling at above 4,000 rpm consistantly might be the AFM?

I'm having little issues but I wasn't going to worry about it until my wastegate gets fixed. 4300rpm submles every time under boost.

I'm still working on my A/F ratio gauge install

 

Well I'm not saying I'm sure that's the cause, just suggesting to Skittle (and in your case too) to check the fuel pressure & a/f ratio when it happens.

 

will do thanks

 

yes, I do want a remote mounted fuel pressure gauge on my dash right next to the A/F gauge. Those are not cheap. The one on the fuel rail was only $18

As Skittle said, its hard to check the fuel pressure on the rail when you're going 80mph, wide open throttle, in 3rd gear.

I also noticed last night that my plastic fuel injector holders are breaking apart! 7 months old and already destoryed. Maybe my injectors are backing out at that rpm? hmmmm.... I'll put new ones in when I replace the manifold gasket next week... after my Pulsar passes emissions!

 

A local Z'er said he just T'd the fuel line & ran the fuel gauge up to the windshield where he taped it so he could see the fuel pressure while driving. Sure... it might be a big ghetto, but it worked.

 

Or I could do like NismoPick and put a camera on or under my hood pointed at the gauge and run an in-dash LCD screen simple is always the best way!

 

Dood! I like where your head's at!

 

ohhh instead of an lcd make it go to a hud so you'll always see it infront of you.

 

2 of my plastic fuel injector holder are breakin apart to... ill have to make do until i got money... but teh car aint running yet so i guess no big. lol those things are crappy though.... they should be like a urethane or some sort of solid rubber material...

and how would you get a HUG to display your FP guage though? lol....

 

GM quick release injector clips FTW kids:

 

Those look just like the pigtails I got at Autozone for something like $1.99 ea...

 

you can get tehm for 89 cents a piece.... theres a link on pallnet's site for them.

 

Awww Sweet, Snowy I Have Metal Injector Holders... Never Seen Them Before Until I Got Me New Z

 

BASTARD!!!! lol.... well its only 2... i can make do for now... i have my pallnet fuel rail just chillen (need an FPR) and my buddies DSM injectors... but i need a way to control them thats where im on a snag... cuase im BROKE!!!! lol... gotta get me a SAFC or a standalone... that or SAFC and then a method of eliminating the stupid AFM. but... the first challenge is getting it runnin. lol. and in the process making the motor shiney or at least presentable again.

if i start making money again i want an aeromotive FPR... adn i guess ill need a guage otherwise i wont know what its all set at.
