| A few months ago, my Impala pooped out on me as I was driving to the movies. Crank, no start, no CEL at key on, engine off.
The lack of a CEL led me to believe that my PCM crapped out on me. Put in a known good PCM. Still no CEL, no spark, no fuel....crap. My dad says "Check the fuses". In my infinite wisdom I never thought to check the SIMPLEST thing you can do. I find the fuel pump fuse is bad. Put a new one in and my CEL came back on. YAY! Crank, nothing, OK. Check spark, yup, has spark....I know cuz it bit me. SSOO, I have a junk fuel pump!
After months of my baby sitting there I know what it is!
Who wants to help me do it?! | |

| Not to mention that I had to face the cold, harsh reality that the Impala may not have as much in her as I thought. She's rusty.....way more than I'd like to admit | |

| What would you guys recommend for a replacement pump. The racetronix pump from Thunder Racing looks pretty dang good. | |

AC Delco pump and intank harness. This is by far the best way to keep from doing it twice. |

| I am very idecisive......clearly.
NAISSO has an "OE" fuel pump for 128 clams. I'd immagine it would be pretty good. Any other suggestions? I was gonna give McCabe a ring and see what price he can get.
I need tank straps, where is the best place to get 'em, again, was gonna ring McCabe and see.
With all my new free time I am just gonna fix the thing.
And oddly enough, finding out my fiance is prego gave me motivation to keep the Impala.
Like I said, very indecisive. | |

Like I said, very indecisive. Damn! Congrats on the future little one. But it sounds like you need to sit down and take a breath. |

I need more than ONE breath! | |
