    Hi all,

    Fuel delivery hell yet again, (I think I must be some type of K-jetronic
    jinx).

    Anyway, the main fuel pump is howling away like mad...we are talking
    major cavitation here.

    I replaced the in tank pump not long ago, used a pierburg (got the
    number from Jim's page).

    The in-tank pump is getting power.

    There doesn't seem to be any air getting into the system, I checked all
    connections.

    I've ruled out the filter being clogged..unless it's chocked down like a
    bad artery.

    Other than the horrible screaming I am getting a hesitation from the car
    when it starts out under load...it's a 5 speed.

    Has anyone had the main pump go?
