Hooray it works again

Postby Tony Smith » Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:12 pm

Finally managed to summon up enough enthusiasm to change all the fuel system on the GTA and it seems to have done the trick, appears to have been the rear pump that was causing the problem, now replaced with a Walbro. Not really any harder than fitting a standard pump so even a hamfisted mechanical retard like myself should be able to manage it. Just need to get the warm up and idle maps sorted and we'll be there.
