Re: 84-245 DL in tank fuel pump suspicious,power loss 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Greg, formerly Greg Wong on  Fri Dec 1 12:24 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I think vapor lock is usually caused by a failing check valve, and probably not related to the intank pump. There is a check valve somewhere, I think it is somewhere near the main fuel pump, on the output side of the pump. When the valve fails, then it can let fuel pressure drop when your car is off. I think the fuel pressure regulator can also cause difficult starting problems.

Hope this helps,

Greg
