CAR PROBLEMS

I don't have the canister in the car, but do in my truck. TRE Performance on Ebay hooked me up when I sent a message and called them.

Might be another possible way to go. I've been very happy with the pumps so far. One person I heard ..did have some trouble with TRE, I would suggest calling and double checking with them before ordering.

BUMP does any one know if the S2 fuel pump will work with a S1

ok well be fore i go to buick and buy a pump lets go over a few things


what could be the reason why my car has a low pressure, im getting 28-30 around that, and it will crank and run but only last a few seconds. im not sure if ita a sensor or not. any help would be great guys

i know most of you have series 2 but please help me out

If it consistantly starts, then dies, I don't think it's FP. It sounds more like a VATS problem to me. Does your security light stay on?

even if 28 PSI is low, the car should run and idle. Maybe performance would be off a bit, but I really thing you're barking up the wrong tree with the fuel pump.

28-30 PSI should be enough to run at idle. Have you tested cylinder compression?

If your engine isn't running, how are you measuring fuel pressure at WOT?

i didnt thats just the turning the key to acc,which turns on the pump correct. to crank over the engine

ok my car is getting air and fuel but im not sure about spark. ok after talking to the guy im keeping the car he tried to talk me down to 650.

so should i get some coils and try that out then get the fuel pump. if im correct with an engine fuel air and spark = running

will, yes all you need is air, fuel and ignition source to have a "engine". but you also have to have 100 other things working in sync for it to run right.
test the coils and pump before dumping money into things that may not fix it.

were can i get them tested

most auto parts stores will test coils and other things like that.

I still think your crank sensor is broken.

If I am not mistaken it is one of the few things, if not the one thing, that will keep a Riv from running that won't set a code of some sort.

Easy to replace if you can get the harmonic balancer off. When I had mine replaced I paid a little over $100 to have the dealer do it - they have a special tool that makes it pretty simple. Takes them less than 45 minutes to do it.

could i do it in my driveway

i did, but i had tools on hand. got the sensor for like $15 and installed it all by myself. no problems since.
you have to use a breaker bar and bump the starter to loosen the crank bolt, but other than that it is pretty simple.
there is a write up on clubgp IIRC.

Reach in there and make sure it's plugged in! It's hard to see... get real close.

ok im having my coils tested tomorrow , and i ordered my OBD-1 scan tool

matt can you get me a link clubgp isnt working for me

sure. here is the write up i used. i believe i found it on clubgp, but as you said it isnt working right now

If you don't you will have to keep the car above a quater tank.

after he gets his RIVI running "guys i keep running outta gas WTF mate's?" i can see it now lol

Oldsman 105- I didn't have to use the venturi kit from ZZP but I did have to swap out the canister from a '97-'00 GTP and adapt it for the stock Riviera top fuel pump assembly. Although this kit might save you that step.

Palmeroycorey- the first pump 75 should work for you. The second one is a different design for a F-body should not used in out cars.

i was looking at the ones on intense would they work for me as well,

Is there anything wrong with your OEM pump?

yes its not pushing enough gas, when we tried to start it i only got 28 PSI so im going to upgrade so something that is stronger and is strong enough for my new motor

I would avoid using any pump that requires the ZZP venturi setup! The zzp kit used, and most likely still does use tubing that is not rated for fuel immersion. The tubing may rot or rupture leaving you stranded. Intense sells a pump with a built in venturi system and uses the oem tubing.

If I were to do it again I would go new OEM with a hotwire kit, or get the Walbro Intense is selling.

I could be wrong but 28psi should be enough to start the car. Check for a clogged filter.
