My Name is Rob. Im the owner of a 1992 Galant VR4 #299.
A little about this car. I picked it up for $2,000. Sadly thought, it has been quite a headache. No im not new to DSMs, lol
Ive had to replace the transmission, as 1st gear was dead. The shifter linkage was shot. Waterpump was locked up. The tcase also was broke. The rears did not spin. The headgasket was redone, as i was told. The clutch was also shot. Besides all that, the motor did start, eventually...
Would have to crank it for a good while, pump the gas, and pray. Once it was started, it would run and not die.
Since getting the car home, ive replaced the waterpump. Swapped out the transmission with a 91 GSX, put in a aftermarket clutch.
Upgraded the 13G 390injectors. (which i find odd, since i believe they came with the 14b setup) Im sure someone couldve swapped it out along its way. I put back in a 14B, 450 injectors w/correct fuel rail and stock FPR.
I replaced the headgasket due to some pressure coming into the coolant system. The upper radiator hose would swell a bit.
The MLS headgasket and ARP headstuds were used. Cleaned up some of the wires.
But, that same issue is still around.... takes forever to start and have to pump the pedal.
We (my brother and i) rechecked all wires, all secure. i removed the plate thats covering the fuel pump.
Isnt the fuel pump suppose to prime? Upon turning the key? I turn the key and nothing happens ( i verified this by removing the fuel line right at the fuel pump and turning the car onto the start position. Not until a couple to three seconds of trying to start the car does the fuel start to pump, and it does come out in a nice stream. Could this be the problem? Needing a new fuel pump?
On a side note: I have checked out many of the cars on the site and i have to say i like a lot of them. Gives me some ideas of what mine should look like!
