Starts good and no Smoke.....got it at the dealership now hope they get it figured out. I have a feeling it's the injector pump. Also I meant to say the tank had vacuum to it not pressure. I drilled a hole in the cap a month ago so it shouldn't have anything to do with my fuel problem now. I could feel it giving up under acceleration especially up hills.

Started off with a failing lift pump. Ordered a Fass fuel platinum lift pump. Turns out they sent it to me with the wrong pressure relief spring so it would only build 5 pounds of pressure at idle. I called fass customer service and they sent me the right spring which builds 15-18 pounds before opening and sending the extra pressure back into the tank.
Took it to two different dealerships and they were a complete waste of time. I highly suggest an actual fuel gauge if you dont already have one. Would have saved me alot of time and headache over the dummy light
