Ok so i just got my fuel injectors cleaned, new fuel filter, fd fuel pump, and still my engine wont get fuel. Everytime it gets to operating temp it gets no fuel and wants to die as soon as I hit the gas peddle. Rpms wont climp I hit the gas and it just sputters and pops. Ive regrouned my engine ie tranne starter misc other grounds, redid all my vac lines and still no progress.

thinking it may possibly be a temp sensor... the sensor on the FD went **** up and it wouldn't run after it heated up.

Okay I dont know if you have figure out that A/F gauges are worth about a pile of crap.



Get yourself a wide band and look at it, the cheapo depo gauges will only tell you if you are in the ballpark ( i.e. you might be in the pariking lot if you are using one).



And I agree with Grey GT-C I would bet that its a sensor.

Twice after installing freshly cleaned injectors I have had to pull the upper plennum and snap 12v across the injectors to get them to come loose. I think its the cleaner that they use. It drys and becomes like an epoxy. Anyhow once you hear them start snaping they stay working.



Dont know if thats your problem but ya never know. Also, both times the injectors sat for a couple of weeks before being installed into the cars.

Also had the exact same symptoms on a car that had the primarys and secondarys all pluged into the wrong spots. Car ran just like you are talking about. A quick check of the wire colors in the wiring diagram would solve it.
