my mUms 94 Vr is stalling or maybe loses power briefly..

[Badboy40qld]

i've been meaning to change the fuel pump for the last 8 months as its been whiring down the back ther for some time least eight months... recently i did a fill of plane unleaded and the pump went silent.. yesturday it started make that noise again and there was a temp loss of power it didn't stall how ever it was brief, thought i install a new fuel pump this morning, all went well...

how ever before i did the test i let it run for some time just to get the air out of the system in case that might of been it.. it did lose power but the darn thing bolted like if ther was no issue then a fuw times it loses power, but after i came back it seems to of settled so i'm not sure weather the issue is fixed

to me it seems its like air in the fuel system and its not holding proper pressure to all the injectors

the current history of the car we lost power on a coil pack and replaced all of them

there was no error light and have a scraping hole between the cat and the front muffler but thats been like that for months...

but there is an error with the oxy sens but thats been like that for years..

the current issue seems different..

this is the second issue in the last 10 years we've had it..

aprt from replacing the auto box....

cheers...

Is anyone here a translator?

Have you replaced your fuel filter in the last 10 years? Might be a good idea to replace that as its more then likely clogged up with a lot of crap. Apart from that give your throttle body and the senors attached to it a clean.

I hope you didnt put that E10 shit in.. It acts like a cleaner and removes all the rust from the tank into the filter, and scale from the lines into the injectors....


replace your fuel filter first and go from there...

If its stalling and splattering just after you filled it up then id put my money on shit fuel.

LOL are you even aware there is a filter in the tank prior to the pump... sheesh.. actually its on the pump... the one out side the tank was replaced a couple of months ago.. it even still looks new.... so no its not that as it only just started having the issue yesturday...

thanks i'll look into those other componets next...

E10 comes in handy actualy i put that shit inbetween premi and E10... is when all my prob started, and yes... i been running e10 all this time and its never gave an issue heck i even run it on my 2001 mits challenger... as for the rust in the tank its not not going to go very far it will remain in the tank..

Yes I' am aware after doing a few fuel pumps before, I wasn't talking about the one on the pump anyway.

yes i know reversed flushed that filter and nothing came out of it not even a spec of rust even the old one that had been on there only saw a few grains.. so even if it was getting past the filters the issue doen't feel like injector clogging.. as it is not missing...

I would have to say ther could be water in the tank.. Or the pump itself is on its way out.. The Mesh filter on the pumps can fall off too mate so dont be to confident that its still attatched. And they are known to have bad conections at the pump, so perhaps one of the wires is broken slightly or lose.. An easy job to check....


But im still standing firm on e10 being the issue.. And for what its worth rusty fuel is the issue not rust itself mate....

And new cars are recomended to be run on that E-fuel... Plastic tanks dont rust and the car company gets ya money when you see them for a rebuild

thanks.. but how do you get rusty fuel you'll have to elaborate on that...

yeah i checked everything when i replaced the new pump this morning as then old pump had been making a whiring sound like for 8 months when i put the crap plane ulp the pump went silent as i stated in my first post the e10 as been run in the car like for ever if it were going to be a problem it would of been in the first 6 months...

I used E10 once thinking it should be ok until next pay day, when I can fill up on 95 or 98, big mistake. Got down the shops went to start her to go home, cough cough cough, nothing
had to replace Tank, pump, filter, lines and injectors.

its certainly not doing that on e10... on either vehicals..

[FstStig]

Have very high doubts its the E10, I have used it before with no problems. Make sure you don't have any pin prick holes in your air lines.

[304runner]

Yeah good point "Mumboman".. It could be a vacume leak.. Best way to check that is to get a can of "Areo Start" or "Start Ya Bastard" and spray it all over the engine when its running and it the engine idle gets higher its because its sucking in the "areo start" at the leaking hose...(most of the time)

Have you given the injectors a clean yet mate?

Pull them out have a look.. Now I think about it my friends car was coughing and splattering and it ended up being an injector... If you have a mate with the same kind of injectors, call him up and get him to pop over your joint and swap injectors for a little bit... Shouldnt take to long as they pretty much just pull straight out. If you find its the injectors thats causing the drama, send yours off to get a sonic clean or buy a new set...

And rusty fuel isnt hard to get.. If your tank has been on empty for ages the the exposed metal of the tank rusts away.... You fill it up and the rust goes though the fuel changing the colour of it in extream cases and nealy always comprimises the combustion propertys of it...

I read "I've been meaning to replace the fuel pump for the last 10 months" and could read no further.

[woteva]

Have used E10 here for well over 5 years and never had a problem with it.

Temp loss of power is what I was having until I replaced the CAS a few years ago.

So did you sort it out? Ya cant just pick our brains and then have it fixed without letting us know what went wrong
