yea, water pump snapped, and bent all valves
3sx wouldnt cover damages due to the pump not being theirs, but the pump was replaced only a few thousand miles prior to being sent in for service... and because we didnt want to spend the extra couple hundred redoing something that was already done, i have to suffer with paying out of pocket for the mistake
so after about 3 months of waiting on valves, got the heads taken into the shop, new valves, seals everything, cleaned block, installed everything, perfect, no leaks, went and got gas (about 5 miles total) brought the car back, let it cool down, retorqued everything sat around and BS'd for a little while, started it up, ran smooth, started perfect, no problems, going down the road, get about 5-6 miles out, and it backfired... turned out the crank sensor wiring got rubbed through by the acc. belt, after replacing, i gave up all hope, still nothing... for some reason fuel pump wasnt coming on now. So i swapped the ECU with a known good one, fuel pump comes on, and thats where im at now. Ive had multiple opinions saying low fuel pressure, but im not sure where im at, or why i have low pressure... i know the pump's on and i know theres fuel there, you can hear it going back to the tank, problem is, im unsure of exact PSI, and idk where to get the tool. second is if i hotwire the pump, i know i wont overrun the FPR because of the current mods, but will it cause a problem? if i have to ill re-change the fuel filter, i shouldnt have to, but... if i have to i will
sorry for the long post
