    Hi all
    Coming home from work the other night and my fuel pump died,so i changed it with an aftermarket one.The pump seems to operate fine,pumping fuel right up to the injector rail but the car won't start now.
    I used aero start down the inlet and it fires and runs till the aero start runs out,so i'm wondering if the pump isn't giving enough pressure to the injectors.

    Stock 89 vn v6 wagon

    any info would be great guys :D

    get a fuel pressure gauge and plumb it in between the pump and the injector rail, let us know what it reads

    i lifted the injectors and rail out and cranked it over,the injectors closest to the fuel line where squirting (not misting) and the other side was alternating between the injectors.
    It seems that there just isn't enough pressure
