I think ive narrowed my hesitation/lack of power down to fuel. I plan on putting in a new fuel pump to see if that works. But i have a couple questions: the car sat for 3 years before bein ran again on the same lines/pump for the fuel. I changed the filter, but how plausable would it be for there to be a kink/clog in the fuel lines? I was thinking of going the 155lph route but seeing as i have not so much as a y-pipe i think it'd be pointless at this point. Should i buy an OEM pump and save for the y-pipe? or get the 155lph and not have a y-pipe for a good while (winters a comin). Who has a good OEM pump for cheap? How often do these injectors get dirty? Anyway of cleaning them (without going all out)? Im assuming injectors for a SHO are $143243.09 each like most other cars? So in summary, my questions are as follows. Go with the OEM pump and save for y-pipe? Where do get a good OEM pump for cheap? How do i clean those injectors/how often do they go bad? Thanks for your patience with me :biggrin:

Reason for this post? I just raced a 97 eclipse RS 5spd from a roll about 10 mins ago and it was keeping up (yes i know how to race my car, i beat the same model/year eclipse in my SOHC 5spd neon!) i had to shut down at about 50 to turn into my driveway. None the less, UNACCEPTABLE.

Just find a 155L/h pump you can get them much cheaper than a stock unit, I can't remember the name of the best place to get them from but I am sure a search will find it.

When you have it done , Google the part number.

You might got a SLO pump in there , some ATX had them installed (ford out of stock?) (If you have an ATX)

Over 155L/H usually over flows the stock regulator and your left with a low load over pressure scenario, will cause the computer to cut fuel as it will be getting too much. Step on the gas the computer goes by what it has learned and now in a high load scenario with proper fuel pressure. Guess what happens?
