Hay all. I have an 89 Lerado 4.0, i just replaced the air box with a cone filter, caped off the vaccume lines for the cold start stuff on the airbox, right now i just have the breather going into the engine compartment until i get it plumed.
That was 3 days ago, ever since its been taking longer and longer to start, and when it does it would bog and die, then fire up afte that. well now, its not starting at all.
The fuel pump turns on, i can hear it and i checked the relays, the filter is good, took it off, blew though it, its only 4 months old to begin with. The kicker is that i not getting fuel to the fuel rail. I'm a n00b when it comes to tinkering, yeah i can pull a chiltins and work on things, but before i go replaceing parts, i wanted to make sure my diagnosis was correct, Fuel pump: OK No fuel to the rail: bad fuel regulator.
If someone has a better idea im all ears... or even a way to check it/recondition the one i have so i dont need to repalce it, that would be great =) I was thinking about putting the airbox back in and make sure it wasnt that, but really, why would the airbox not being there cause th fuel to not get into the fuel rail... that dosent make sence to me... but yea... let me know =) Thanks in advance.
