Hey guys,
Yes I am new here, I have been searching but I just can't seem to find anything that is definitive.
I recently bought a '95 TSI with a 6 bolt swap. It has some mods too it. 1g rods, 2g pistons, he claims it has BC272's but I don't believe it as they are SUPER quiet, S-AFC, and it had a walbro 255 in it.
Well when I bought the car I knew it had an issue. I was pretty darn sure it was the fuel pump. He said it was about 2-3 years old and the problem was that when going into boost, around 5 PSI it would start to miss.
Well I was positive that it was the pump as my buddy was having the same issue in his car.
I took out the fuel pump and checked the filter, it was black as black gets. FILTHY. So I got a new one and then when trying to boost it would now go up to 12 psi then start missing.
So this is where I am at now:
I was driving today and the car just crapped out. It wouldn't stay running. If I got the car started and had about %50 throttle it would run but not idle. It would die out.
So I got my new 255 today. I was in the parking lot changing it where it broke down. The pressure line ripped so I replaced that.
Well now, with the BRAND NEW pump in, I turn the key, and the pump no longer primes, no noises, no nothing. I try to turn the car over. It turns over perfectly. But WILL NOT FIRE.
I am thinking the full pump relay shot due to over running the old pump. I am unsure.
I need help asap. This is the only car I have that is road worthy right now.
Also, I am newish to DSM. I work on cars a lot but have never owned a DSM.
