yea i think you have something hooked up wrong....drop that tank again...there is an offf chance that you just dont have enough fuel in the tank to support that high flowing pump...but a full tank is much harder to deal with..

mbo there is a good chance that you just dont have enough fuel in the tank....if you SURE that you hooked everything up right and you can hear the pump doing its thing..then fill that tank up some more.

I'm pretty sure I hooked up everything right. the only thing I'm not sure of is the connector to the pump. The stock plug worked with the walbro, so i just plugged it in, not checking the polarity. I'm wondering if maybe the stock plug and the walbro polarity are opposite. I can hear the pump come on, but nothing comes out. There is just under a quarter of a tank of gas in the tank, is that enough?? thanks man...

Okay I could be a moron at this point but whatever, if the polarity was reversed and you removed the gas cap and the pump was working wouldn't it be blowing air into the tank when you took off the line running to it? So in turn you should be able to hear bubbles in the gas tank if that were your issue correct? Just a thought, could be talking out my ARSE but brainstorming never hurt anyone except my brain

I think that makes sense. Unless the pump can't manipulate air, I would think that would be a sure fire way to check without removing the tank again. It sounded like the pump wasn't really making bubble sounds though, just kinda humming and the hum echoing in the tank. hmm...

Something else I just thought about... I was a petroleum supply specialist in the army for 6 years so pumps entertian me... perhaps it has to be primed? you could attempt to suck some fuel up manually then once some flows through try to start it... or force some down/in from a turkey baster perhaps?

yeah lightshow, I think I have to fill it up to get the thing "primed". Maybe using the turkey baster like sir nasty mentioned too, if things won't work. I'm going to put in like 10 gallons tommorow, and see what happens. Wish I could do it tonight, but the car is at my parent's house (my work shop), and I gotta work all evening.

Yeah... they love all my fun little projects just taking up their garage. Oh well, they would only put stupid junk in there so I might as well use it to some extent. i hope to have a house in at least a year. Gotta finish school and get a better job. blah blah blah. I just hope low gas is the problem!

I'm off to go fill up the tank today (after work). I really hope it cranks up! I've been reading a lot that people with the walbro can't go much lower than 1/4 of a tank before the car runs out of gas. I could live with that little quirk. Next on my list is bigger injectors.
I won a p06 on ebay last night for like 50 bucks. I want to get it chipped to use with my s200 hondata system that's sitting on my shelf. Anyone know what it takes to chip an ecu? Or where to get the parts? If it's all about solder, then I'm there.
