10 psi is just barely enough to run a TBI motor...  i would almost bet that you have a fuel pump going bad... 13 psi... and blocked.. at the fuel filter... close to 25...     be sure to replace the fuel filter Orings when you are done.. with new ones.. take the fuel filter off.....  stick a clear plastic gallon bottle  over the fuel line from the tank...  have someone crank the motor for 10...

Heres whats goin on. I just flushed my cooling system. With the engine cold I removed and cleaned the resevior with just water. Ran water through the top radiator hose opening untill it drained clear from the bottom plug. Drianed the engine block via drain bolt. Replaced everything and refilled it with the only coolant it says to use. I let it run for about two minutes, finished refilling it, let it run for another six or eight minutes till it...

I got a 2001 Mitsubishi eclipse spyder. Its a stick shift. I was working fine wonderfully good. The problem i am facing is engine keeps running only if i accelerate and if i remove the acceleration it just stops. This happens even after the engine heats up. it was raining and i think may be something went wrong. I would really appreciate if any one could let me know the reason behind the problem

Severe misfire under load
Published (2009-12-21 09:52:00)
I was just given a truck.  It is a 94 sonoma that is experiencing a heavy misfire under load. At 60mph the truck shakes violently and can't accelerate when I press the gas. The computer set an error code for the EGR and the exhaust manifold is cracked. The EGR was disconnected but when I reattached it the problem didn't go away. I don't see how a bad EGR valve or cracked manifold can cause a severe misfire....

there are a bunch of people with this problem... change the oil pressure sending switch... use the proper oil pressure sending switch socket to do it.. some stores have tool rentals so you may not have to buy it... the idea is also to clean the area of the threads with brake cleaner first...

more than likely... the fuel pump is going bad from being run low on gas... since most toyotas have a fuel pump access panel under the back seat... its not that hard to replace it... i take it that the engine is cranking... when you are trying to start it... the engine does turn with the starter motor... some drivability mechanics have a low amp current probe and a DSO (digital storage ...

Matt, I hope you get your money back!! ) I certainly need my money back. My husband passed away suddenly from cardiac arrest in Dec. 2007. My son and son-in-law wanted to get an engine (badly) in order to finish a 1967 Firebird that my husband was having completely restored. We were all still in shock, and were NOT thinking straight when we ordered the 400 Pontiac Engine from AA Rebuilt...
