Think my Lift pump is gone... . I'm getting 6 - 8 psi at idle and 0 under light throttle. Trying to take it easy on the old girl...

 

[Wheaties]

Andy, sorry to hear your lift pump is misbehaving. Don't wait to fix it, the injector pump needs flow for cooling! Get a replacement ASAP!!!



Now Timster... ... I get accused of jokes that are out there, but playing on "fix your brake" --> "fix your BREAK" is just stretching it a little too far, especially when you go using high falluting words like "preemptive"... how are we to know that you refer to fixing a brake before it is broken rather than fixing a brake before it gets pregnant?



Oh I got a dog

And her name is 'Brake'

Gotta get her spaid

Before puppies she makes



She's a good, good girl

But she's been to the lake

With a stud named 'Spot'

And oh' puppies they'll make



... ...

 

[Wheaties]

.....

So loan me the shop

And cut me some slack

Gotta fix my Brake

And get rid of a Spot



... . not bad for a droll piece of doggerel
