Very high fuel pressure. A spilt fuel hose. blown fuel pump as well

[Peter Seow]

First i though i had some hesitation, sure enough i could start yesterday, slight crack in fuel hose from the fuel pump. today i replaced the fuel pump along with a new fuel hose, the i noticed today the airflow lever was kinda of jammed up and difficult to move. But it start up with very low idle after moving the air flow meter the rpms increase thou i was stil running rough.. two mins later the fuel hose ruptured. The fuel pump was running very hot and next the fuel pump is dead AGAIN. I rember replacing the fuel pump six months ago so something must be wrong. The car is eating the fuel pump the interval replacing them is getting shorter. I am suspecting a spoilt fuel distributor. I've never ever experienced this problem in my whole life.

to high of press could be a bad reg. on the fuel dist. or, more likly, a plugged return line back to the tank. the cis tank has a 90 degree bend inside the tank for the return line, and it will stop up there somtimes. blow air through the return line from the rear, you should hear bubbling in the front.

Thanks, i am going to start work on the car pretty soon. But i somehow suspect the fuel distributor is shot i am tempted to buy one right now while typing.

I like the plugged return line idea as it seems like that would cause increased pressure and strain on the fuel pump... but so could other issues I suppose. That's and easy/free thing to check out though.

oh man i hope so else i'll have to spend that 1600 dollars.. It's a shock to me still never expected such a strain on the fuel pump. Two days ago i took it to 6000 rpm and now its dead!
