ok here is what i accomplished today. i found the fuel pump relay. metered it out and everything is fine with the relay. i checked the test connector (wrapped up with the wiper harness (2 pin yellow plug) well i found some chewed up wires 6 to be exact. i got the 2 for the test connector figured out... just not sure what the other 4 wires are. (will get colors tomorrow)
took the bed off and noticed a chewed wire on the harness going to the sending unit. fixed that and still nothing. so i pulled the sending unit/pump assembly and was freaked out a little. the bottom of the strainer was like syrup.....alot of varnish had settled......5 years sitting... guess so...
i disconnected the fuel pump and ran 12 volts to it... no dice. (i am assming that after sitting for 5 years that the pump was all gummed up and frozen. soooooooo
200.00 later (got a new fuel pump, strainer, fuel line, in line fuel filter, hose clamps, and 2 cans of seafoam)
poured the seafoam into the tank and swirled it around alot along with 3 gallons of fresh gas. swapped the filter up front. assembled the fuel pump/sending unit and started to scrape all the rust/funk/buildup on the sending unit bracket and fuel pump bracket.
tomorrow i'll drop the tank and clean it out (i kid not that there is at least a 1/4" of varnish on the bottom of that fuel tank)
so hopefully by thursday i'll be able to put it back together and see what happens. more than likely i'll have to take all day cleaning the tank. i really dont want to shell out 150.00 for a new tank.
ok i'm tired.... enough writing....

yeah... she does look pretty good all cleaned up.... today sucked balls.... i was helping a friend hang a few flatscreens at his house and i get a call from the wife..."code enforcement" is here and they are citing us for the vehicles... 3 mazdas...(2 b2200's and 1 b2600i) all are legal (tag'd ins. etc) and 2 out of 3 were operable... the guy told my wife i "was not allowed to repair my own vehcile in my own driveway.. i had to rent a space to do it."
where is the "sema action network" when i need it?? grrr i'm gonna cuss some people who work for the city out tomorrow morning.......i OWN THE HOUSE... ITS PAID FOR.......I WILL WORK ON MY OWN STUFF WHEN I CHOOSE TO.....LOL
i can understand "major engine overhaul etc... but repairing a essential part to make it "operable" my ass.... i hate beaucracy (sp??) damn the government......lol i need to run for city council... then become an elected official on the side of custom vehicle enthusiasts everywhere....ok my rant is done.... went a little off topic but i hope you guys understand... i'll hopefully get to work on my 92 tomorrow and get her running and maybe drive her by the weekend.

Well at least you didn't almost have a lean put on your house for leaving your trash can out in front of your house.

no it not that bad....lol... the only reason i get code enforcement called on me is because of a psycho b***h who has nothing better to do than to harass me cause she is a prostitute and i talk shit about her and to her... cause she is trash...... anyways.... way off topic....lol

i'm calling code enforcement here in a few minutes and going to speak with a supervisor or someone high up and see what i can do about this stuff.
