VIEW    READ ONLY    PRINT   SAVE   A    A  Money pit 240 but I will prevail. 200 1990 posted by  Ken in Maine on  Wed May 6 16:42 CST 2009 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] last visit: Sun Sep 6 16:39 CST 2009 [RELATED] Don't see my 240 as having sex appeal. Chances of scoring in such a car are 660 million to 1. On the other hand this car has such a powerful heater that the windows do steam up a lot so at least they got the impression that you scored in it. So my question today is that I am hopefully down to a bad fuel pump. Can they get to the point of weak? What happens, car dies but if I take vise grips and clamp the return line on fuel rail it runs not well but runs and if removed dies instantly. ..... I replaced the pressure regulator and made no difference. Sadly I cannot find a place that will rent a guage to test it. Am seriously thinking of trying to adapt a freon recharge kit guage and permanently leave it in. It seems to me that when the car decides to run ok the fuel pump made a high pitch noise rather than the steady hum it does now. In tank pump makes a steady hum. I get the impression it is there simply to get gas down to the main pump since I can unhook it in the trunk and car stays running. My neighbor has sender from a chevy truck I am tempted to look at it and see if it could be adapt its fuel pump just to test/rule it out. Just recently however it lost spark which was the loving ign module. If it runs on the chevy fuel pump likely will just stay in there as I am tired of dumping more $$$ into the car. When the car runs right it goes very well gets 25mpg and flys along at 70mph barely touching the gas. Spark problem I actually drove the car home in diesel type mode limping along at 40 mph with gas 1/2 throttle. Wondering also where fuel pump is grounded. Wires run along frame but I suspect they must pass into the body somewhere. Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
