Good afternoon, it is a balmy 20 degrees and snowing here in Ohio. Hope you weather is better.
This morning I went out and pulled the relay for the fuel pump and left it open. I turned the key to the "on" position and the fuel pump did not turn on.
This morning I cleared all of the codes and drove it around for 20 minutes. What a difference a new set of plugs made. No lights came on while driving.
When I got back I did have to let it set for a few minutes but I did the compression test twice . After pulling the fuel pump relay, unplugging the distributor and using a shovel to hold the pedal down to WOT.
The first group of numbers are:
Cylinder #1 160
#2 155
#3 170
#4 160
Test 2
Cylinder#4 160
#3 160
#2 155
#1 165
It did run and sound better while driving around. I was looking at data on the scanner (I can see this paying off already). The data said that the temperature was 184 degrees but when I pulled pack into the garage and shut the engine off I could hear bubbling coming from the reservoir .
For the couple of dollars the fuel pump relay costs I could go ahead and replace it anyway and see what happens? But if that concerns you that it runs all the time it sure concerns me.
Thank you
