preface: I cleaned my intake manifold this weekend. took it off, did the fire trick, and re-attached it. However, while removing the bolts attaching it to the engine, I found that one bolt required a particular angle in order to get loose. So I hopped up on top of the engine and put one knee on the fuel pump, the other on the quarter panel, and put all my weight into the stuck bolt. Damn thing didn't stand a chance.
After everything was back together, I got in and tried to start her up. It started hard and slew a lot of smoke. It drove good, actually drove super good, nice and fast, no issues.
After a few seconds I got a CEL. Kinda sorta ignored it and drove 200 miles on a ski trip the next day lol. thought it had something too do with the EGR. car drove great the whole way, again better power and pickup because of the clean manifold.
Well, I was driving and all of the sudden shes really down on power, Turbo sounds different and spools later, and its making a weird plunger-like noise for a second on startup. A little greater than normal amount of blue smoke comes out when I romp it, otherwise its a normal amount of white smoke.
Finally got around to scanning that CEL, and what do ya know but these came up:
P1563-Quantity adjuster lower limit stop value
P1562-Quantity adjudter, Upper limit stop value
P1161-IAT sensor circit open/short to B+
P1248-Injection pump fuel metering control (AA) range/performance
Autozone said I need a new pump, rip.
My questions:
1 Did I thrash the pump by kneeing it? everything was running perfectly before I started the process of taking the manifold off.
2 Any idea how to fix this? Do I really need a new pump?
3 Can the hammer mod do anything to help this?
