Hello everyone.If you have electrical knowledge and would be willing to go over to the Performance page I have a problem with fuel pump. Described in detail. Never know who else may have had to deal with similar problem.<P>Or maybe you would just like some good entertainment.<P>I know the engines are different and the electrical is also somewhat different.But any ideas are welcome.<BR>Thanks Steve

Well I got the pump working and the car running but I dont know why or what the problem was. Now whats wrong is - It idles irratically ,and stumbles or hesitates when increasing RPM's, will even stall if you dont raise RPMs ever so slowly. At idle it doesnt sound like ignition or valve timing could be off, but one of the last things previous owner had done was timing gear and chain. If it were off one tooth would it run fairly as it does now? Should I look into the TPS or MAP or even something else?

If your talking the old plastic MAF sencers GM had 2 types. One was a true cylinder and the other had a hour glass shape to it where the air flows thru. I would not think it any problem switching them. It does sound like a bad MAS sencer.<P>Tom

Yes Tom the 86 Riv. has the barrel and the 87 Delta has the hour glass. That engine ran great. I bought the rear ended car last summer and dismantled it my self. I get worried about damaging these expensive electric parts. They seem confused enough with out throwing in "an outsider".
