Well it's getting better, I've now got fuel going through the injector lines but not enough pressure to open the injectors themselves, that shouldn't be too tough to remedy.

Well tried cleaning it still nothing, although there is some hissing when I crack open the fuel injector lines though but still no gas, I'm just going to replace all the lines and distributor with the junkyard variety. Screw it, time to overhaul the whole fuel system, maybe I should do carbs...

Well after more work on the cabby I'm pretty sure the fuel pump works, and there is fuel that is pressurized all the way up to the fuel filter and the hose that connects the fuel filter to the fuel distributor. BUT all the lines from the distributor going to the injectors and all the accessories, wh...

CIS Transfer?

Can I install a CIS fuel distributor unit thing and injectors from a MKII into my cabriolet, including the cold pressure regulator? Not many MKIs at the scrappers but tons of MKIIs there. CIS is CIS right?

Tested the wiring at the fuel pump I guess my next question is what does this connector do? I would assume provide power to the fuel distributor since it clips into it. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h235/randomnames/01-07-07_1834.jpg Sorry about the bad quality but its the only camera I had on h...

Faulty Main Fuel Pump Wiring

If the problem to my car not starting is due to bad wiring to the main fuel pump under the car, what would be a possible remedy? I know for sure that the fuel relay and fuse are fine so I'm not sure what else could be the reason for the bad wiring. Electrical isn't my bag :(

Hopefully soon, the evenings are too nice to drive around with a roof over your head! The top is decent, where it isn't ripped or cracked!!

Haha yeah that's for my friend, he drives a Talon so I got that for him while I was at the scrappers. I don't like Eagles personally, really!

I sure do have an O2 sensor, I already checked that and it works, I still blame the fuel pump. Fuel filter was changed, and also tried a new relay hoping that I wouldn't have to buy a pump but it looks like i'll have to :(

That's a good idea, does the car just have to be switched on or actually started?

I'll definately check that out, but after I installed the "new" fuel pump it still didn't work. It performed exactly the same after I removed the fuel pump relay, so I have to assume that I got an even WORSE fuel pump than before, one that doesn't even work, so I might as well buy a new on...
