No. Felpro's don't need it.

Re: Blew the motor

alright...tried starting it tonight, but failed miserably

first off...the moment I connect the negative terminal on the battery is sounds like there is a powerdrill going off in my car. I think it is the starter...and I am going to assume it is wired incorrectly...Can anyone give me a hand with how its supposed to be wired up?

2ndly, I broke the ground that goes to the back of the driverside head...can I just go to the store tommorrow and buy grounding wire and wire from the egr stud on the head to the chassis?

lastly, does anyone have a picture of how the powersteering pump is mounted? Mine seems to be too low apparently, the pulley is literally almost touching the crank pulley, and the metal lines are touching the pulley. So any upclose pictures of your pulleys/ if youve had the power steering pump off, which holes the studs that hold the pump go into...

Thanks guys...Would love to have this thing back on the road tommorrow.

Re: Blew the motor

Just had it running a couple times...now it won't start I don't here the fuel pump on...is there a fuse for it somewhere???

Re: Blew the motor

yea there is a fuse on the dr. side dash when you open the door for the fuel pump. Check it out and see if it blew

[LETZRIDE]

Re: Blew the motor

Don't see it..I read something about a relay underneath the kickpanel on the driverside?

[97rs4life]

Re: Blew the motor

look in your owners manual, its labeled along with something else, not just fuel pump. I can't remember at the moment the exact fuse that I always pulled when I was gonna disconnect my fuel rail when playing around to relieve pressure

[LETZRIDE]

Re: Blew the motor

Well I just pulled everyfuse in the fuse panel box on the side of the dash and they all look good....swapped the relay and nothing...what else could shut the pump down? I don't here it at turn key...and I refuse to believe my pump would just shutdown randomly

Re: Blew the motor

Wow...that's rattling....what's eta on doing a pump on these cars?

[ssms5411]

Re: Blew the motor

If you cut the trap door in the hatch , maybe a hour or less. Then your done, just make sure the hose is on tight.

Re: Blew the motor
