Hi, I bought a Astro 96 awd that had a bad fuel pump, I changed the pump + filter, then i didnt get a spark on the ignition so i changed evrithing in the ignition. Now i have a nice spark and the car starts on start gas, but i cant get any fuel to the spark. i have tried every thing.

I heard that the pressure regulator can be bad, so i bought one and took the upper intake manifold off and changed the regulator. When i read the Haynes Repair Manual it says that there is a vacuum hose to the regulator.

Im missing that hose.

Is there any one that knows where it goes? from the regulator to ?

Im sorry if my English is bad, I kom from Iceland and i live in Sweden now and all the dealers here ar what i would call dum and dont whant to help.

the Astro is a very fine car and im going to use it as a Farrier car, so im really desperet to get it going.

Realy nice Forum. thank you

 

Hello
did you get an answer to your vacum pipe problem? as I have the same problem ,where is the pipe?
I have done the same things as you new fuel pump etc.my car has been in garage for 2 months.If i find the answer I will let you know.
Regards Geoff

 

My car is running perfect now. you dont need the pipe to the pressure regulator ( there is enough pressure in the manifold. ). I found a mekanic that helpt me with my problem.

I took the pressure regulator that sits in the tank and threw it in the bin. and put a pip in stead, works perfect. there was a leak on the original clams that i got with the fuel pump so i put stronger clams and the leak stopt. works perfect.

I hope you understand what i wrot, if not i try to explain better

Have a good day
