hey guys..Today i put in a new BBK 155lph fuel pump to correct my backfiring and engine dieing out problem, but it still does it,i was told it could be the TFI module, so i bought that tonight, and tommorow am gonna install it.I'm just wondering if any of u have ever had this problem and how do u fix it?
P.S. it back fires when the engine is to running temp. and i get on the gas, then it backfires and runs like crap until it dies out. and then won't start again until the engine gets cold.
 
sounds like you are on the right track. the two things that die out with heat are fuel pumps and TFI modules. when it dies, have you checked for whether you are lacking fuel or spark?
if you think it is the TFI, and you want, try to get it to die out (have a chase vehicle behind you) and put a bag of ice on the TFI. once it cools off, it will sometimes come back to life (like when you let the car cool off).
any codes stored? even if the CEL is not on, codes can be stored in KAM.

that is what comes to mind. good luck.
 
[Hello! Make sure all your plug wires are on right.Then make sure you don't have any wire burnt or cracked arcing on the engine.try two unplug and plug vaccum hose to fuel pressure regulator and check for hiss.make sure all vaccum lines are on right espescialy fuel pressure regulator one. Later Sub
