This problem cropped up after I installed my Aeromotive AFPR kit. The car takes forever to crank to start, even with the fuel pump (Walbro 255hp) priming for a while before cranking. If I shut the car off and turn it back on right after, it starts fine. When I shut the car down, the fuel pressure gauge drops to 0 as soon as I kill the car. I I also removed the Fuel Pressure solenoid, but that was a month ago, and the car has been starting fine with that gone. Again, this starting AFTER the AFPR install.
What the hell is going on here? I thought this was a symptom of a bad seal on the fuel pump, but it's been working fine for a long time. The fuel pressure solenoid was my first through, but it was working fine with that gone too. That leaves the AFPR install. What in the install could have caused this?
Does the AFPR flow so much that it actually needs the fuel pressure solenoid to bump pressure when it's cranking?
Out of a box of: Fuel pressure Solenoid, Boost control solenoid, and two emissions solenoids, how do you tell which one was the FPS?
Spanks.
