Today I learned something new to share with yee-all.
I had just finished a BEW engine swap, went to start it and the lift pump was bad.
In a pinch, we elected to temporarily take a LP out of one of Leonard's 04 inventory cars. Come to find out, that one was bad as well... But that one started up and seemed to run fine.
We went around and checked all of the PD cars lift pumps on the lot and found one more on a customer's car that was bad as well. I was doing a tune on this one and replacing the bad lift pump made a pretty nice difference.
When the lift is bad the PD's will still run fine as long as they're primed. The main symptoms are: When you start it, it takes several revolutions before it will fire, & it will slightly lack power almost the same as a weak MAF sensor.
To check if yours is working properly, raise the rear passenger side seat cushion, cycle the key & listen for the hum.
