1.6 NA not getting fuel

[ORCoaster]

Do you have a tach hooked up?  Perhaps the governor screw needs an adjustment?  If you are not topping the gears at somewhere near 3800 I would suspect the screw needs adjustment.  I have a 1.6L and in fifth I pretty much pull 2460 RPM/s But my shifting between gears can go to 3200 without a hitch.

Mk1 non-turbo max rpm in a given gear should be ~5,500 rpms.  I don't typically take mine above 4,000 or so but it will do so without issue.  If you can't hit 5,000+ rpms in a lower gear, then the pump is not adjusted properly or there is some other engine issue.

 Hey, when you floor it,.. does the lever on the top of the pump go all the way to the high rpm stop?
Trany code?

I do not have a tach hooked up. I also believe that the fuel screw is turned in to the collar

When I installed a new accelerator cable it went all the way to the stop. I haven't rechecked that in some time though.

I just looked at the tranny code when I was changing the oil filter this weekend but I can't remember what it was off the top of my head. I'll check on that when I get home in a couple days

Fuel screw all the way in is on the other side of the pump.  I am talking about the screw on the front of the pump, pulley side.  I is counterclockwise screw so be aware of that.  I would loosen the locknut and do a full turn on the inner part and see what the results are.  If negative twist it back the turn and turn that direction one more turn and see if that improves performance.  Repeat until desired results are obtained.

I haven't gotten around to this governor screw yet.

The tranny code on the bottom says 12012

When I upshift it is totally out of the power band. I'll max out a gear and then when I upshift it feels like I have 0 power until I am able to build the rpms back up

There always seems to be air in the return line as well

YOU MUST FIX THIS FIRST!!!!!!

Otherwise you will never know if getting power is happening as it should or not.

I suspect seals are in need of replacement on the IP or you have an inlet line that is cracked or loose IN bolt seal.
