Wally 255 And Damages it can cause?

[XiKeiyaZI]

So the previous owner informed me that he thinks that the car had a Wally 255 installed in it. There is no AFPR on this car.. and I know that the wally 255 will over-run the stock FPR. Here are my questions.

Can such a high-flowing pump cause any damage to the fuel system?
What are the usual effects on the engine with a wally 255 and now AFPR?

I am more running a tad bit lean... but something I noticed last night is that with my windows down I can almost make myself believe that I smell the very faint scent of fuel. I've noticed that gas mileage isn't exactly the greatest in this vehicle... and when I take my foot off the gas, the car backfires like it's starving for fuel.

What I'm wondering is if a connection in the fuel line has cracked and is sucking in air/leaking fuel? Is this possible? What's the best way to check/repair this? This is just a hunch. I've also noticed over the past few days that under my car once I get out of boost and start allowing it to cool down.. small traces of fluid will drip and pool on the ground. I normally check coolant after this(which is there) and by the time I check again it's all mostly evaporated. Due to the high temps here lately.. I've disregarded it... but then I recalled that fuel vaporizes rather quickly.

Any ideas are appreciated. And a question I'd like answered is - Would a leak in the fuel system cause enough of an effect on our cars as to cause rapid backfire in the car on decel?

^^^V3 lite a very good option too. Very cost effective. Just not quite free . But you'll be better off in the long run for sure. Yes, if you get tired of "CeddyMod", then you can grab a used full version of link including the eprom ecu for $500-600 from what I've seen. . . But bear in mind. I was hard up for cash after getting link for sure. Yet, once I purchased it and had at my disposal all the features, plus the ease of use, I was VERY glad of the purchase. I wish it were my very first modification to my car. It's ideal for the beginner to tune his car, then as you get more experienced you can get into more "complicated" forms of tuning, such as working with the manipulation inf individual cells in the 3d table instead of sliders and get into speeddensity and run a higher airflow counting evo maf. All with v3 lite.

For reference, one member did away with his random misfire code by running the 2g cranksensor along with the 1g cas: click. I suspect you can just wire the red wires together and the black wires together with the 2g cas plug to the 1g pigtail and leave the 2g cranksensor harness completely alone. Just also wire the blue 2g cas plug wire to the white 1g cas wire in the pigtail like the RRE site shows. But this is moot now.

God~ You guys make me feel like a cheap-ass. Haha. " Just swing $400ish for ECMlink! " I wish I could just swing that. @__@ But I'm a young man with bills and a job that doesn't make extraordinary amounts of cash a week. I could survive off of $400ish for 2 months if I had to. Until recently I was always in that 'I need to save to get by' mode, and now I'm a little more lax with cash and can't shake that feeling. I look at things like "I could spend $400 on an awesome program to help my vehicle... OR.. save that for rent...or half for rent and half for food for 2+ weeks! ;D "

Hahah.. So I dunno. I don't know how to spend money. The reason the Flashable route seems nice to me now is that in the end, I'll have lost little to no money....but I know that I'd much rather have Link simply for the numerous uses it offers. Now to just toss and toil with this and try to save for one of the two.. (back to square one). It's like.. you offered a prtty great idea, and then rounded it off with " Buuuut... ECMlink is SO much better...not saying you should get it, but.. you should get it." ;P

So, Adding a 1G CAS would be pointless at this point...and I still need a log, which Pied is going to be helping me out with that by allowing me to borrow his logging equipment so I can get a few logs up here! ;D

Just save up $230 and swap to a 1998-1999 ecu and get evoscan/ecuflash.

Sell the 1995 eprom after you decide how far you want to go. . . But considering how tight you are, you'll likely never need more than what ceddy's work can offer you anyhow. I was just throwing out there that I love my link. And I'm glad I got it. I can't tell you how to spend your money though

You have a 1995eprom, of which you can reprogram the timing maps. You can swap to a reflashable ecu, of which you can reprogram the timing maps. So there's no reason to bother with an adjustable cas. Besides, using that the "tweek" timing is very crude and will give you too much or too little timing at other places in the timing map as you rev through to red line. . . You want to give timing where it is beneficial and not everywhere.

It's not so much that I'm 'tight' for cash.. but Jesus.. the most I've spent on a car was $500 and that was for a running 1G AWD! It's just something I'm going to have to man up and do I suppose.

I'll take it all into consideration, but.. I think I'll go with link. >.< There's more support and I've already done a bit of research on it so why change my mind at the last minute? For now I'll just wait for the logging equipment to get here, post up some logs, and see if we can't get this thing figured out that way.

Thanks for the help guys!

Link v3 lite. . . It's so simple and you are NOT out alot of money at all. Yes just 'man up' and bite the bullit. Pull your skirt up is what I would say

 

[XiKeiyaZI]

Hahah! Fine fine, I'll go that route.

;3 Might be a couple of weeks though. Going to mark this thread as resolved, and as soon as I get my logging stuff in, I'll post a log! It'll be here long before Link is... so I'll have an idea what I'm up against.
