I have a 2003 RXDI I bought as a project.
The engine was ‘rebuilt’ by PO. I took it apart to inspect it after it failed leak testing…
It’s now back together… no engine leaks…
I put a Quantum Fuel System, HFP 501DI fuel pump in the tank.
It fires up…yea…
However, it idles rough and then dies…
Pressure tests:
~26psi at fuel filter with key installed…
However, the pressure drops off quickly to zero in less than a second. I have sprayed soapy water all around the top of the tank, fuel lines and connections on the fuel rail… but haven’t located any leaks yet.
When it’s running it goes up to ~107psi… fluctuating…
I would think a leak that big would be easily visible or possibly even heard…
I’m looking for some suggestions on common leak locations with the fuel system.
Any recommendations are appreciated.
Im reviewing the manual…
I’m thinking I’ll do the process of elimination…I need a way to block the line coming out of the gas tank… to isolate it to the tank and line only..? Thinking out loud…
Any ways to test the connections under the rail?
TIA,
Edwin
