Been a while since I was on... But I guess that's good, because I haven't had issues. Until now...
I decided after my engine started acting up and belching a lot that I would try the cheaper fix and do the lift pump before throwing down a bunch of $ for a new IP from Agnem... which I was planning on doing anyway (170k, stock IP). So, being the typical overconfident idiot that i am, i decided to go and pick up a Napa mech pump... and install it during the leading end of a blizzard... Well, the swap went fine (i thought...) and I also think that the old stock Carter pump was pretty shot... After i unbolted it, i also detached the lift>filter hard line, and listened as all of my fuel gurgled back through the pump into my tank. I got the new pump in, following procedure that I had research several different places on the web... I cracked my lines, and cranked. It fired and ran for about 1 second. That's the last it ran. I have NO idea why, but no amount of cranking will make her fire. I have cracked the lines a few times... I have clear tube from head to #1, and IP to #2 injector caps... After cracking, the line from IP to #2 is full... but the other had air in it. Also, I noticed a peculiar thing... It looked like bubbles were forming near the nipple, almost as if there was a vacuum in the tube, and air was being sucked into it around the cap's nipple...
Either way, I used to get her to fire when the lines were cracked. It would be sketchy, but it would tell me I could crank em down again. Now, nothing. Cracked or not, I am getting NO firing in my cylinders. This seems super strange to me, given the fact that all I did was the lift pump.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. This is definitely NOT going to be fun...
