Progress!

Got the fuel system back together last night with the new feed and return line. As soon as I tested the pump, it was obvious that the return had lost a significant amount of restriction.

Fired her up, she ran SIGNIFICANTLY better, with the fuel pressure acting absolutely as it should. It sounds like the engine is quite a bit out of time though, and it had trouble running below 1500 or above 5000 RPM.

I'm trying to figure out exactly how to do my base timing. Apparently the '95s DID have a plug that you could ground to put the ECU into base timing mode, but I'm not sure if that works with the AEM EMS. From what I gather so far, I need to figure out what my base timing is set to in my tune, and then match the actual base timing to it. I may have to do the "set-timing-while-cranking" method, and just hope my starter keeps running like a champ.

Hell, it managed to survive me trying to start a seized motor with it.. embarassed
