    MORE help for my sick '06 ride?

    The saga continues from my last thread dealing with a rusted fuel pump. My new (Scharfs) fuel pump works great... That's the GOOD news. I flushed out the fuel line and fuel rails before I attempted to fire her up. I also added two bottles of fuel cleaner/booster directly into the fuel tank...

    HELP! Gen III fuel pump replacement

    SOLUTION!!! I successfully found out exactly what caused my fuel pump to lock up. After taking a dremel with a cutting disc to it, I was able to take it appart. It didn't take long to see that it was simply oxidation or RUST that did the pump in. As you can see in the photo, the lobes of the...

    HELP! Gen III fuel pump replacement

    Roysviper - It is the actual pump that is bad. I've taken the whole bucket out & pulled the pump itself out. It does exactly the same thing... It's actually STUCK or jammed, like something has come apart or worn out and locked it up. There is a small amount of play, if I very briefly reverse the...

    HELP! Gen III fuel pump replacement

    Thanks for your time everybody... I'm down to the top of the bucket, and now I'm not sure how to release the plastic retaining cap/ring. This should be the LAST step to pulling the bucket out, it looks like. I found a detailed DIY on Allpar.com, but it was for Gen ll, and had a metal retainer...

    HELP! Gen III fuel pump replacement

    From the fuel relay in the fuse housing under the hood, the female connector to the fuel pump reads only about 0.7-0.8 ohms to ground, and it draws 14 amps when connected to 12 Volts. There is no sound coming from anywhere..?? It seems that the current draw is too high, unless I have a pump...

    HELP! Gen III fuel pump replacement

    There is about a 10" round plastic cover near the center of the deck under the carpet, but it has metal inserts that appear to have screws coming from the underside to hold it in place... remember, this is a coupe, so it might be different from a conv?

    HELP! Gen III fuel pump replacement

    My '06 coupe is not getting fuel. Must the fuel tank come out in order to replace the fuel pump? Are there sensors in the fuel system that would prevent the fuel pump from normal operation? Also, the quick connect on the fuel rail for the braided fuel line appears to be different from the ones...

    Yes, that is (was) #94... I had about 10k miles on her before the guardrail incident. I replaced her with a new '06 coupe - GTSBlue/Silver stripes. More @ theviperguy.com

    Trunk Latch Question on 06' Coupe

    Same here... I tried bending the actuator lever down just slightly, and it improved the problem slightly. At least now it pops totally free from the latch sometimes.
