    Fuel pump issue

    Ok doesnt have to do with my new BP since its not even done yet but with my Escort LX motor, 1.9 SEFI SOHC. I like this place better than any other car site so here it goes.

    I have had the "die around corners with 1/2 tank or less of gas" problem for a while now but I havent fixed it. On sat night a german women hit my escort right the D side fender. Not much damage, I should be able to to pop the dents out of the fender but the rim is screw, she took the paint right off the middle of it.

    After the hit, I noticed a problem. I was cruising at 50mph when I heard a different tone from my exhaust (I have a catback SS manderal bent 2.5" exhaust so it makes a nice tone). Because of the tone I can tell when something is wrong. I noticed a hicup from the motor like it was about to die.

    She didnt die and all was good but I have been getting this same problem off and on since then. I did a speed test on the auto bahn today and I noticed that when I noticed the hicups I was lacking in power. I was only able to get to 85mph now because of the lack of power.

    Sounds just like a fuel pump issue, who agrees with me?
    Block is almost done, cylinders are overboard for Weisco pistons, pro gram billet main caps have been line bored, and my chinese EDT rods have been machined to right specs. Everything has been balanced.

    I agree it's a fuel pump issue. Forget the mod to your fuel pump. It usually only lessens the severity of the problem but doesn't fully fix it. Go buy a new fuel pump and seal.
