So here is my story i got my 302 all back together and runnin perfect, i noticed one of my fuel lines was smashed so i decided to fix it, i cut out the bad peace and used efi hose and clamps to repair, now my car will not turn over what needs to be done? thanks everyone

 

it wont turn over or wont start?

 

Ok it turns over but it wont start like it just sits there and spins, you know what im trying to say? I replaced prob a 4 inch spot out of bothh the lines that run under the car. Do i have air in the line and thats why it wont start? Did i combine the two wrong lines any ideas im really stumped right now?

 

If you used the right hose (Fuel line hose) a 4 inch piece should not effect the fuel pressure enough to kick the relay off. But when you first turn the key on,.. does the fuel pump turn on then then shut off or does it stay running longer then normal? Are you running an adjustable regulator or still the stock regulatory at the rail?

You need to realize the there should be between 30 - 40PSI of fuel pressure running through that line. I'm ok with 5 - 10PSI for a carb on hose clamps,.. but 30 - 40PSI over time will probably create a leak. This is just my theory and not proven. But perhaps someone with more experience with EFI fuel systems can chime in with the proper way to repair a EFI fuel line or if indeed hose clamps are ok.

They actually sell that hose and clamps as a repair kit. My bet, you have them crossed.

 

switch the hoses...????

 

Return line into the feed line.

Doubtful,.. but very possible,.. I've heard of much worse mistakes.

 

He cut and repaired both lines...wouldnt be hard to do

 

they are different sizes-but could have switched them

 

I think i might have crossed the lines thinkin bout it now, cause i was havin problems puttin the hose on one end but not the other? Also the fuel pump comes on like normal so tomo morning i will switch the lines around and see how things go, thanks for the help everyone
