RE Airtex...
I replaced my stock secondary pump with an Airtex, and it had a bad check valve, right out of the box -had to exchange it.
Then, about a year later, Marc was about to take my car to the dyno and discovered the fuse to the secondary pump had blown. That was curious, as I had just run the car with a pressure gauge taped to the windshield to test it at WOT a week prior, and it was good then. (That was one problem, and thats when I learned the "new" injectors installed at the time I bought the car from a dealer were NOS circa 1990...and guess what else had failed?? But, I digress!)
Anywayz, it only takes a minute now and then to hot wire the test connector to the pumps through my Fluke to see if they're both running. So far, so good, but no more Airtex for me either!!
