    please help mustang fuel problem

    i am getting black smoke. the map sensor is good. i replaced the fuel pressure regulator and also the 02 sensor. when the ignition is on the fuel pressure will not shut the fuel pump off yet when you open the fuel line at the regulator it has plenty fuel. you can also hear a hissing down inside the intake. can anyone please help. thanks fuel pump will not shut off i think it should in few secs after with key on!! any help appreciated

    You have a vacum leak. Computer sees lean condition and is riching up. The fuel pressure regulator may be defective also. Find vacum leak at intake.

    Sounds like a possible two part problem. The hissing sounds like a stuck open injector, or its just the fuel cycling through the fuel rail and back to the tank. Use a screw driver to your ear or some other listening devise and try to pinpoint where the whistle is coming from to try and determine the leaky injector if it is one. As for why the fuel pump isn't shutting off. I've seen that due to a bad ground, a bad relay, or a fried EEC. Unfortunately its not an easy one to find. The return style cars do not have an electronic way of monitoring fuel pressure so its not a leaky injector that would be causing this dip in pressure and make the fuel pump keep priming. Check your grounds first, and then the EEC to make sure it is secure and the harness is nice and tight on it. Does the car have a piggy back chip? If so remove it, clean the contacts, and re-install it. i've seen bad connections there do similar things.

    The vacuum leak could make sense while it is running, but it doesn't explain why the pump won't shut off when the key on engine off position.

    Did you check for a vacum leak at the manifold gasket? What exactly did you do to the car. Let's start from the beginning. If there is a vacum leak or injector leak, changing the computer will not fix it.

    there could be a possible short to voltage causing the pump to stay on. normal pump operation will have a 3 sec. prime at k.o.e.o does the pump shut off or continuously run at k.o.e.o?

    You say your map sensor is good and you just changed your maf?? Is the car speed density or mass air?

    Chuck, you sure the fuel injectors you got are not the problem. Is this the 93 you are talking about?
