not sure on a 32 but on a 33 you either can solder the stock clamps that the screw usually goes through onto the fuel pump or cut it off and buy clamps that would go over the walbro fuel pumps prongs either way its abit of a hassle

yeah i just received my pump and the walbro uses a plug... its pretty much the same thing as normal.

daxter: i was advised by a workshop to get either the 342 or 341.

from NS http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:gO_tK...mp;client=opera

"The GSS-341 and GSS-342 are the exact same pump mechanically and in flow rates. The only difference is that the GSS-342 has the inlet on 180degrees rotated on the other side, ie: left as opposed to right, so the inlet and outlet are in line."

ahhh ok, I guess ether one is fine, I was told to get the GSS-341 :woot:

Did you get the fitting kit too? (400-766) that should make it real easy to fit.

i got everything i needed; clamps, tube and crimps

to be honest i thought it was a more annoying install than the bosch because the pump doesn't fit back in with the filter on (as i took the whole assembly right out of the tank and did it)

in the end the pump didn't fix my problems so it was all a waste of money and time. damn fumes :)

Yeah those fumes are crazy, my car is going to smell like gas for a few weeks :D

I'm not sure I understand your problem? It should all slot straight back up easy.

I crimp and solder every connection. Be aware the plastic shroud on most crimp ends will degrade in fuel, so just remove. 12v wont readily bridge a gap, just double check your solder connections.

What are the issues you experiencing, that the new pump didn't fix?

Just got my walbro is it safe to crimp the wires inside of the fuel cell just dont want it sparking and blowing up lol?

Crimping is fine if done correctly but generally soldering is preferred, just make sure you use shrink sleeve :)

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
