I find it strangely ironic, that I'm having the exact issues that you did, since I also got my pump resealed by 8v-of-fury. He will not return my emails, or pm's.

His profile says he hasn't been online since june 2nd.

I would give him some time to respond back. Life outside of the forums tends to get in the way sometimes

Do you happen to have a link to the pulley that you bought? I feel as if I shouldn't have to spend the money on one, if it truly is 180* off.

I would first verify if the pump is indeed 180 out by using the paper towel method mentioned in that post before purchasing anything. You may have put the timing belt on the pump off by 1 tooth.

Usually the engine will fire (and run really rough) with the pump 1 tooth off...

I thought so. I couldn't get mine started at all.

Well, back to square one.....while waiting for my starter and all that crap, the car has sat a couple weeks. Now I once again, have no fuel at the delivery valves. I have the fuel pump on it still, I mity vac'd fuel through the return side, but I'm still not getting any fuel out. The solenoid is still working. I still have not heard back from 8v-of-fury.

With the electric fuel pump inline, I am for some reason not pushing very much fuel, with bubbles into the pump. All my connections are tight and have clamps. I found that as soon as I pop the plastic t on the return line off the filter, it for some reason seems to push a lot of fuel and clear out the bubbles. I tried vacuuming fuel through the return side, still getting a lot of bubbles. I have over 1/4 tank of fuel.

[Diesel_Zuk]

So nobody wants to chime in and help? When I pull a vacuum on the supply side of the fuel filter I am getting large bubbles. When I put the electric pump on, it will not push fuel through the pump, unless I remove the return line off of the fuel filter. I have 1/4 tank of fuel, sitting slightly unlevel with front end higher. Do I need to add fuel to my tank or what?

Take the electric pump off and see if you can pull full.

Take all the lines off and try to get it to fill itself from a can of clean filtered diesel.

[Diesel_Zuk]

Okay, I'm still at a loss. I work a ton, and haven't got to touch this for a while. When I put the vacuum on the supply side before filter, it is straight fuel. As soon as I connect the line to the outlet of the filter, I get lots of bubbles. Is it possible I have a leaking fuel filter somewhere? I am planning on replacing it, it's just a matter of getting out to the dealer to buy it.

the electric pump should be able to push fuel all the way through the return line. Sounds like there could be a possible blockage

I can barely blow through the plastic t on the fuel filter. Is that supposed to be easy to blow through? Neither side blows easily.
