New Fuel Pump—Same Problem?
Finally found an AC Delco outlet in my neighborhood not far from my
job. Purchased a FUEL PUMP & FUEL FILTER. Installed my first fuel
pump—had a few small problems, but hooked it up. Problem is, the
car still has a "rough" idle as described in prior threads. Have not
put the filter in yet, but I can't believe that would fix the problem. The
car almost feels like a "miss/knock" from a bad OPTI SPARK. Man, I
hope not. QUESTION — should I proceed with the fuel filter and maybe
get a fuel pressure reading for possible BAD INJECTORS or have the
OPTI checked, if possible. I was really hoping the new pump would
solve these HARD STARTING issues and roughness. What should I
do at this point?
