My fuel pressure drops when I give it gas ... Please HELP!
Alright well I put a D16Z6 motor in my hatch and after driving it for a week or two, I noticed it keeps breaking up and doesn't have the power it use too. It began with a huge misfire so I bought a new Dist. Rotor and that solved the problem but then after running it for a day or two, It just got worse! So bad that I couldn't even drive down the street.
So I decided to call over Neal Sutton to see if he could figure it out. All he told me was that it was the fuel pump, as I figured it would be. So i replaced the fuel pump that day and it's still running like crap.
This is what's happending ... After letting the car get to it's operating tempeture I go to take it for a spin and after three or four minutes of driving the hatch, it doesn't misfire but it seems to me like it's starving for fuel, if I give it gas ... the car wants to stall and the rpms drop immediatley. MY fuel pressure is set to 36lbs and after the road test, I get back home and the fuel pressure is at 28lbs. When I give it throtal, the fuel pressure drops to 11lbs and the motor sounds like it wants to die but never does. And it pops out the intake when I have it full throtal and only pushing out 11lbs of fuel pressure
Please someone help me, I've already spent $500 and it's still running like shit! If I can't figure out this problem in the next week then I'm saying screw HONDA and I'll go to something else.
Thank you,
Alex H.
