I went to a buddies house earlier today and had no issue with the TGP when I parked her. I was there for about 2 hours and went to leave. Turn the key the first time and she sputtered like mad and stalled. I tried to crank her over and nothing...not even a sputter. I borrowed my friend's big diesel pusher and went back to my place and pulled the ECM out of the TSTE. Plugged it in and no difference. I have plenty of fuel and can hear the pump fire off...but not fire. We took a plug wire off and got an arc to the manifold...but I did not see it and my buddy said it looked pretty weak.
So tomorrow morning I get to pull the DIS and coils from the TSTE and see if that does it. I tell you sometimes I wish I owned a car with a full warranty so I didn't have to worry about stuff like this...then I think f the payments and thank my lucky stars I don't have those!! ;) :laugh: :icon_cool:
want me to build you a ground strap?
Those are fairly new GM coils and ICM on that car. Won them on ebay back in early 2005, they were off a very low milage 3100 equipped w-body IIRC.
Have you scanned it yet? The problem sounds somewhat similar to what I was experiencing when those wires were shorting out inside of that looming.
Better Call LukeZ34 Warranty :icon_razz:

Really! I have only owned the car for a few months now...I need to call the LukeZ34 garage to see if things are covered under warranty!! :icon_lol:
Anyway. Swapped the ICM and Coils from the TSTE and same same. My buddy was laughing at me saying...I told you it was fuel. So we looked a bit deeper into fuel delivery. Yesterday I just pushed the schrader and she pissed out fuel under pressure. Today it did the same but I held it down. Guess what? Dribble dribble dribble! :icon_evil: I pulled the fuel filter post filter and dribble dribble with "key on". Pulled the filter from the line and a tad better but not PRESSURE like it should be. I hear the pump turning on and stopping...but no "pressure". So I guess I will order the Walbro I was planning for the motor build and put her in.
I did that pump back before the 5-speed swap with a GM pump. I guess 5 years and she had enough. Might be some freaky blockage or something...but I doubt it.
Worst part about dropping the tank....I just filled her up to the top before I went to my buddies place! :damnit1:
need a link for a walbro or ya have a place in mine already??
Shawn Lin reccomended these guys to me for mine

Has anyone dropped in a HP 255L/hr pump? I wonder if the HP will over run the stock FPR?
Looks like this is the one I need?
FPG003 - $108
a.k.a. GCA758
I was going to put one of these in because of the fueling I was going to need for the motor/boost setup...but did not research it yet.
If anyone has any input let me know! :icon_cool:
I have the HP one and no issues
and thats the one you want
FPG003 - $108
a.k.a. GCA758
Alrighty then.
Did you have to modify it or is the latest version a direct slide in?
direct replacement
Oh great and lucky owner of an awesome TSTE....
Not that you dont have enough on your plate already but a write up on the Walbro255 pump would be great, IIRC the guys doing this swap on the 1997+ have an issue with the float not reading correctly near empty :icon_eek:.
Will do Tom. I had all the pictures to do a full Ohm your injectors write-up but I deleted the damn things in the camera.
It will be a week or two before I do it. No need to rush into it when I have two other cars in the driveway. ;) :icon_cool:
figure this out yet Kenny??
I ordered the Walbro pump today...should be here by Friday. Will be putting in my Pinky injectors and pump Saturday. Need to get it together by Wednesday next week cause she is going to Bandimere!
It has no pressure so either something very strange happened at the pick-up screen, there is a block in the line before the fuel filter, or the internals of the pump have died. I can hear the pump and it shows voltage at the pump in the datalogger so I don't know. The fuel pump is going to be needed anyway so I might as well get that improvement out of the way. ;)
