Re: No fuel to the rail, new pump, new filter

Thought so, and it hasn't been anywhere near cold enough the last couple days. But the thing that keeps getting me is why do i have pressure building up?(air) if the line was clogged then there would be nothing, if there is air pressure then the pump must be compressing it enough to get a small pish...

Do ...
