I had my fuel pump quit on me, it was 14, so I understood. I bought a general aftermarket new pump and installed it. Apparently the new pump was bad and was pushing too much fuel, flooding the engine horribly, white unburned fuel, wet plugs, whole nine yards.
Not having time, I took it to a mechanic who installed an new AC Delco pump instead. He said it was still misfiring a little because of the excess fuel in the manifold. I didn't trust that, but drove it off.
Now the truck is misfiring all over the place, P0300 code flashing constantly.
I had to take it back to the same guy, who is now saying that the distributor is bad. I am not feeling it. How does the distributor go bad after a fuel pump issue?
I don't mind replacing the distributor myself, but not if I have to turn around and replace 6 other parts chasing this. I just can't afford that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Already replaced cap, rotor, plugs, wires, and module.
