Hello.
I made it home just fine. It was leaking at the bottom of the IP where there is a bolt ,before I left, it was just a slow drip, after a few days in nevada, it started to stream out instead of drip out.
by the time i got half way to Phoenix, I stopped to at a fuel station (Left the car running) and popped the hood. There was no leak??? what gives? Cold weather? this morning you could follow my fuel trail to the car, this afternoon, nothing. not even the drip.
Now I have 3 other IP's, 2 na and one turbo. I know the 2 na's dont leak, im unsure about the turbo, also, I did a heavy duty cleaning on the turbo pump, I also took apart the throttle springs and scrubed everywhere. My question on that is,,, Did i screw up the pump settings when i removed the springs and throttle plate? as i could see that the throttle plate has some markings on it after I cleaned all the gunk off. I put it back togeather but I dont know if that bottom plate has to go on a certin way with a certin degree or clocked just right on the little star gear that controlls the throttle shaft. (what I call the throttle plate may just be the spring holder, but it still has the markings on it)
sw diesel wants 400-800 for a rebuild (can I do this myself or do you have to have special equipment )
also does anyone do this for 100 or 200... or do i have to save up for the Gills pump as $200 more seems the smarter way to go. And, Why does it cost so much to have your pump rebuilt? A Just Cause I can thing? I only paid $180 for the car....
Other than that, Thanks in advance
