CP3 Is Leaking
 
So I suppose the only remedy is to replace the entire unit. Or is there another way?

Where's the leak, or is it just bleeding down and not holding pressure?

I was underneath and found a wiring harness and the underside of the CP3 damp w/ fuel. Lucky it hasn't made it into the oil, or at least I don't think it has. Oil level stays the same.

So its leaking where the wiring harness comes out of the pump? That's actually pretty minor and there should be a replacement seal available. There is no high pressure at that location so some small leakage really isn't much of a problem. I'm willing to bet that most of em leak there a little.

Kinda hard to tell. Looked over the top and looked a little damp there also.

this is probably your hard start issue all together!

Hell I just saw this thread and thought the same thing

Yep, you're sucking air. Maybe one of our nice vendors will check on a seal kit available. :w2: And don't freak out over doing an overhaul. Its not a difficult as you might think. :up2:

I hope I'm not causing damage. Might be why it's not idling as smooth. Maybe.

mysterync 03-23-2008 07:55 PM

Yup thats your rough idle and hard start! no , Your not causing any damage!

I'll round you up some part prices tommorow!
