RE: FI pressure blues-long and droning...

Whoah......hey everyone, tell me if I'm wrong here...


So the fuel pump pressure side is the DRIVERS side???  wow...I did
something very, very wrong...

I have the pressure from the fuel pump going through the passenger side,
on to the reluator end  that threads through the firewall , 'round the
fuel rail, and back down the passenger side.  Did I get it backwards?  I
assumed the regulator was the first thing that the fuel hit, before the
injectors....


I'll draw a picture.  In about 10 minutes go look at
www.geocities.com/MotorCity/garage/1250/fi.html

I'll draw what I'm thinking.

Thanks!
