I drove the car 50 miles, went back home and garaged it.
After 3 weeks, I started the car.
It will start over and over but will not stay idling.
I checked the initial fuel pressure....i'm just getting 12psi....it should be 60psi when you turn the ignition (without starting it).

So I know it's the primary fuel pump. There are two fuel pump in the V8. Which one is the primary --- the 1st fuel pump or the last fuel pump in the hose?

I replaced the FP last year using Walbro 225 - I bet this walbro is stvp!d chinese made which I can't identify from the genuine.

Might also be the rubber tubing is split above the pumps, the rubber needs to be fuel submersible rated.

Thanks Vulcan

IMHO (based on other older cars) at least look at the pumps and filters while at it..

Gates 27093, one-foot piece costs approximately $29 at O'Reilly. Still not cheap, but you only need a few inches.
