Message: [QUOTE="94.5stroker, post: 313034, member: 1746"] Ok so couple months back I made my own efuel system. Ran fine that whole time, then last night coming home from studying I was putting along casue I was tired, and I had it in OD (around 30mph) when I started pulling a hill. I always do this when I'm putting and if it gets under the turbo sometimes it will lug. Well it started missing and cutting out like crazy and I though it must just be under the turbo and lugging down real bad so I down shifted expecting it to get back to normal but it didn't. Thing is missing like crazy, so I stopped and opened the hood and I have no (zero) fuel pressure at the regulator after the heads. So today I did some checking and I'm not getting power to the pump to run it, even when I hooked up the ignition power to the NC terminal of the oil pressure switch and turn on the key. My relay made a rattleing sound when I shook it so I took it apart and it looks like maybe it got water in it, but doesn't look terrible. I haven't really messed with them much, but it didn't look bad enough to be burnt up but I don't really know. The terminals are corroded looking and there was some brown gunk in there so I have my suspicions about whether it is any good. My question is, if the relay is shot and the pump aint pumping, can the engine pull enough fuel from the vacuum of the injectors to keep it running? I even shut it down and restarted it a couple times and it runs (however very chitty and only for a second cause I don't need to be replacing injectors again) and the injectors knocked like they aren't getting fuel (obviously). Or do I have another issue here. I limped it home and it could hardly pull itself. Thanks in advance, Nick [/QUOTE]
