pressure seems good, but you can still have an injector problem instead of a fine mist it may be a stream of fuel. still if you switched injectors and wires and plugs and still have this problem, then . happy rebuild a quick test of an injector is to pull the fuel rail off the motor with the injectors still on and good fuel pressure. use 2 tiny test jumpers, one to 12 volts one to Neg ,un pluged from that injector , nothing will squirt with power on, Brake the Neg wire and it will squirt . see how it looks, a fine mist is what you want, a stream is bad . It will continue to squirt until you reconnect Neg wire , then it will stop also, you can put your test light on the harness to that injector , un plug it from that injector, if it flashes on off on off real fast then the computer is working , if a;ll that looks good, then ,,, happy rebuild remember the injector will pulse only when Neg is removed, that happens in the ECM

So, tell us a little about yourselves

One other solution , remove the brake peddle all together, its a race car. and while your at it, remove the mirrors, you dont need to see whos behind you -
dont know if your cold cylinder prob is fixed, but did you ever check the fuel system,, A lean cylinder will run hot, a wet one will be less in temperature If its EFI , it could be squirting wrong , and not set a code. I have seen this before

my size 9 is a very tight fit in the one I built. The next one will be an automatic trans . only 2 peddles to worry about . I may stretch it about a foot and widen about 6 inches, its a tight fit no matter what -
Can you stick a probe in the tank to see how much you really have ,or just try and fill it
-
Is your car EFI , if so the pump can run and even pump fuel , but the pressure can be low , you will need a pressure tester . It still sounds like a fuel prob to me

First it didnt evaporate . If you check the fuel pump circuit ,if it electric, then check he relay, you can jump across the terminals to power the pump, another thing, the flue pump has a SOCK FILTER on the pick up side of the pump, it can clog and make you think all kinds of crap is going wrong. I put a air hose on the fuel pump tube and blow if off, its a pain in the ass and will clog up any way. or take the gas hose off the engine and turn the key on, you should get gas flow for 1 second, and it will shut off,Then crank the motor and see if gas comes out, If the system is EFI type

check fuel pump relay or the pump its self,

A gas still has lead , it is not subject to EPA BS , I use it and I use pump gas too , don't sweat the small stuff , get in it and drive it , have fun , or go to a auto part store and buy a bottle of octane booster
-
correction, I went for gas today, it is not 109, but 114 octane , , but that is this airport, dont know about any others
-
PS, dont buy jet fuel LOLOLOLOL you will kill every bug in your county
-
go to your nearest airport and buy AvGas, 109 octane . at half the price of a so called racing gas . and YES they will sell it to you.. I use it in mine, I have a v-6 with 10.5 to 1 compression ratio . works like a charm

OMG, 225$ for 5 minuets of welding?? I have a TIG and a MIG, both are super easy to use. 15 minuets of practice is all you need . serious and months to wait,, wow, shops sure know how to screw people now days ..

No world, it's NOT a kit car. This is what I started from. Just plain old USA made steel RHS and tube.

I built my frame for about 300$ and it took about 4 days in total
-
why not make your own, it would be cheaper and you can do it the way you want , Its not that hard

Getting closer to a purchase. More questions.
Alex-Ks1 replied to Saudio's topic in General Sevens Discussion
so, as I see it, its about a year for your car? I built mine is about 3 months and I was building a electric delivery truck at the same time, But that's just me. I have a full machine shop and all the tooling I need to run an automotive business. not many people have that. But it was on the road with I wanted, the engine type, trans type, rear end type, I made all the discissions on what I wanted . Not what someone wanted to give me. But I have been doing this since the 70s . And what is your car going to fully cost, I never looked into that. I have about 7 K$ in mine from start to finish . I didnt know how to bill myself for my labor -

if you want more power, build it yourself and put a LS3 GM crate engine in it, they can go up to about 700HP. is that enough? Mine is just over 265 HP and is scary fast . -

I dont know about anyone else. But when I built mine with a V-6 , I had to make the headers for both sides, and it is loud, AND Flames shoot out of the pipes, Its loud very loud, but that what I wanted, The full race cam makes it very grouchy LOLOL . But that's why there is vanilla and chocolate ice-cream, something for everyone. On wheels I have 15 inch in the front and 16 inch on the rear . . The GPS speed-O doesn't care what size tires are on the car. MPH is always correct . remember , its an open roadster, it will be just as loud inside or standing next to it, besides the car is saying ,, " look at me, Im here" -
as this debate runs on .. no one has asked about a T-handle or a pistol grip shifter, I see it as If I can grab it and move it, it did its job.
