ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

            disconnect the outlet line from the filter (filter to injectors)..turn the ignition and see if fuel is going through the filter (make sure u have a friend helping u), if not, then disconnect the other line (pump to filter) and see if ur fuel pump is pumping gas to ur filter.....or vice versa, which ever way works for u!

              funny i just disconnected the fuel line to the fuel rail.. i saw gas come out...l so then i unscrewed the main relay from the bracket turned the key and i felt and heard a click...the motor turns over and its cranking just not turining on... but i feel as if it wants to turn on by the sound... i even hear my muffler..hmm..plugs look good/wires look good/...even if i hear the main relay do that click is there a chance that it still might be a bad part?

                Yes, a relay can click but not complete a circuit.

                And I had an issue with a delayed start fall of last year. I checked everything front to back, inside and out, except the fuel pressure cause I don't have a gauge for it. It eventually fixed itself and haven't had a problem since.
