Nate, my EFI requires 12psi at the injector. If you get a pump that can put
out that much or more (not much more) it should work. I also carry an extra
pump in the event that I need to change it on the road.

HA!!! It appears to be the fuel pump (or fuel system). I sprayed starting
fluid on the air cleaner and it ran so good I could even drive up into my
drveway! Then it dies... Oh well atleast I'm back home and on the right
track!

My electric fuel pump musta gotten weak or bad enough to pump gas out of the
line but not enough pressure to feed the throttle body injectors (I
guess)... sound logical???

Whats a good replacement? Remember a month back or so a thread on this but
never wrote it down.

Nate, first find out what preasure your fuel injectors should be at.
Second, go to somewhere like a speed shop and get an electric fuel pump
rated higher (psi/gal/min) than what you need. You should not have any
problem getting the correct size.

Also, while your under there. I installed a hidden dash switch in-line with
the fuel pump. Even with my unit hot-wired, someone couldn't start it
without gas !! It's a cheap theft deterrent.

HA!!! It appears to be the fuel pump (or fuel system). I sprayed starting
fluid on the air cleaner and it ran so good I could even drive up into my
drveway! Then it dies... Oh well atleast I'm back home and on the right
track!

My electric fuel pump musta gotten weak or bad enough to pump gas out of
the
line but not enough pressure to feed the throttle body injectors (I
guess)... sound logical???

The idea of an extra elect fuel pump is a VERY GOOD IDEA. I had a truck that had
an elect fuel pump and it went out on me on Long Island at night and it cost me a
lot of good will and thousands of dollars of lost future business.
