here's a really stupid question that i think i already know the answer to. why does Guido(79 244DL) sputter when the tank get to below half? is it because of the mechanical fuel pump? i think it is but maybe im wrong. and if i am right, how do i go about replacing the pump with an eletric one? do i have to replace the tank as well?

 

Not to sure but does your car have a Electric Pre pump in the tank?

 

ususally in tank prepump is shot.

 

i think the prepump is also mechanical? not really sure. if i have to replace that, should i get an electric one from a newer 240? or what? and will i have to change tanks as well?

 

I will have to try to check at work I would think the Pre would be Electric.

Not sure maybe out a newer one in But watch Fuel pressure make sure it doesn't go to high.

 

how am i suppose to watch the fuel pressure with no gauge???

 

Yo will have to hook one up to make sure the pressure isn't to high.

 

wow...tech's smart and im stupid. i never thought of hooking one up.

 

That's why he's "tech" you're "lucky tweaker"....lmao.....omg....lol. I don't care who you are that's funny!

 

since when are you Larry the Cable Guy???? HUH???? i dont care if you are...i hear that line too much. lol. and why is it we always get "off topic" in "on topic" threads??? lol. i dont get it.

 

Well, at least we only get off topic when the topic has been discussed to conclussion...that's not bad eh?
