NO ONE IS SHOUTING----WHATS WITH THAT

PLEASE DO NOT USE ALL CAPITALS IN A MESSAGE. In the Internet world this is considered to be shouting and thus rude. For more Netiquette (Net - Etiquette) check this article: http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ia_nq.htm

I DO THIS SO PEOPLE WITH POOR EYE SIGHT CAN SEE IT BETTER---NO ONE ELSE COMMENTED --GET A LIFE  AND DONT WORRY ABOUT HOW OTHER PEOPLE WRITE

I'll comment: capitals are annoying and unnecessary. Even with my deteriorating eyesight.

This sounds like a blocked return line or a defective fuel pump. Since the pump is new I'd be looking for a blocked fuel line. Inside the tank would be my first place to look. I won't coat fuel tanks - more possible problems than you had before you coated it.

WILL2614,
I see you have 10 posts. So, maybe you havn't been on this Forum long.
I will take it as my honor to tell you that you are telling one of the most respected members of this sight to "get a life".
Consider this gentle advice.
Please respect the people on this site. They have incredible knowledge and are incredibly GENEROUS with their time.
So, take it down a peg and let's all work together to keep these wonderful automobiles on the road for as many people to enjoy as possible.

And by the way, Benz Dr., really knows his stuff too, so you might want to take his advice also. I'll add you might want to measure the volume of the flow at several points in the fuel system. It solved my problem for me and many other.
Now I hope nothing further needs to be said about the CAPITAL issue and we can continue doing what we do so well.
Collaborating.

I don't know... doesn't Benz Dr. always go for the blocked fuel return line first?  Even if we're asking about a headlight problem?

KIDDING!  Glad to see the Good Doctor is still with us and dishing the advice after all these years!

Ummmmmmm..... no. I usually deal with a block ( ed ) head first.

WILL2614...I am so sorry for not responding to this earlier.  I have not been on this site much for many months.  I usually looked at the W1XX section (GO FIGURE!!!)  until the past two-three weeks.   I am now involved more with my Pagoda again!  I hope your problem is solved!

[WILL2614]

yes  jp  thanx for asking  it turned out to be a totally blocked return line------thanx to the por-15 gas tank sealant---which is great,the inside of the tank is like a glass finish,but if you dont block the lines from the por-15 from getting in, which is not an easy task,you'll have the same problem.at idle the car will stall because the gas is not moving thru the injection pump causing it to heat up and boil and cause vapor lock.i ran a whole new copper tubing line,which was pretty simple about 15 minutes including soldering it and haven't had a problem since

Which was the same problem I had...the return line...only, mine was blocked at the opposite end!  I am glad it's resolved!  I have not had a problem with mine since 2006.  Where in Brooklyn do you live?  I love Brooklyn!   I grew up in Sands Point (Nassau country).
