well,now you sound like a big cry baby." mommy he cursed at me whaa!!"

and now you sound like a vindictive consumer " Want a forum to atrophy? ...then stifle communication. I wouldn't suggest that." theres plent of comunication here.how many responded to your questions? please,save your internet threats for your Miata friends.
if you were in my garage hanging with the locals and you popped questions like yours,you would definitely be told to figure it out. if you had serious engine problems or electrical issues everyone would jump rite in and help you get it fixed.
people like you find online forums to pamper your little ego.i bet you cut coupons and complain to the post office if the postman doesnt say hi to you.
like i sed,im not tryin to be an ass, but you my friend assuredly showed everyone that you are.

I think the last few posts should be moved. The new topic could be "Bickering C#nts" Just a suggestion.

I don't understand your reference to "making threats", but rolleyes

Thank you for the help and advice. You can stay in here and play if you like, but I won't be responding any longer. ...moving on to other topics.


Don't worry Dave, I won't be feeding this troll and adding to the distraction anymore. I should have ignored him on the first post. My mistake. Thanks for your friendly welcome.

Cheers,
Al

Al, feel free to post as many questions as you need, though it's always good to search first. Glad to have you. Don't let guys like robotennis impede your sense of curiosity or lesson your experience here. The rest of us are here to help you out, and I'm sure all of us can learn a few things from your future posts (even robo!).

Only if you managed to tick off the Robo-tennis player. I'm still not sure exactly what sets him off, not all n00bs get equal treatment.

There are always some n00b questions that seem to come up when somebody joins a forum. No harm done. Here usually the moderators merge the n00b thread with the existing thread, somebody points out the FAQs, and eventually you aren't a n00b anymore.

There is a "bickering ****s" thread, or close enough to it - I think AA made a hidden forum area called "The Dump" which you need to ask for access to. That's where the juicy ones usually end up...

Al, ask away. Search. The built-in site search can be iffy at times, so if you are having trouble finding something go to google and type "The details I'm looking for site:rivperformance.editboard.com" and you will get much better results.

Code:
heater duct site:rivperformance.editboard.com

like that...

Did some additional research on some other boards for makes/models that also use similar fuel pumps and the general consensus was that ACDelco and Delphi should be equivalent since Delphi makes many parts for GM.

The nod actually went to Delphi in some feedback, and the Delphi is noted on Rockauto as having a strainer included and built-in and has a larger reservoir. So I ordered the Delphi.

We did verify that the current pump is non-functional, and it is getting power.

Like most newer pumps, I'll have to wire in a new style connector, but that's the norm now.

It should be here by Thurs/Fri, so it will be exciting to see if we can get it fired up this weekend.

Seems like you've found the issue. Also be sure and replace the fuel filter. I would replace it after you install the pump and run the car. That way any debris in the tank or lines will be caught by the old filter - won't dirty the new one.

Good tip....

After sitting for so long, I'm pretty much expecting all fluids and related filters are going to need a much shortened service window for the first few changes.

Installed the new Delphi pump, and miraculously the engine started right up and ran smooth as silk.

I really didn't expect that to tell the truth cool

Sounds like you might have a vacuum/air leak somewhere in the intake. I would check all the vacuum lines for leaks, and make sure the LIM gaskets aren't leaking all over the place. It's a VERY common problem with our engines.

LIM is the lower intake manifold gasket. First check to make sure your air cleaner is closed properly around the air filter. Also make sure air intake tubes are secure and clamps are tight. Then visually inspect all your vacuum lines to make sure they are connected to their ports and free from cracks. Also, listen for the leak to help narrow down where its coming from if you can hear it. Good luck!

For a vac leak, you can always do the trick of carefully spraying starting fluid or something around all over intake gasket areas and hoses and everything to see if you get a nice jump in idle then, you found the leak. There are possible vac leaks that it won't identify but that's a good start.
