Replaced the fuel pump and filter on my '01 GT. Now after sitting takes 15-30 seconds for it to start and, until it warms up, needly to slowly feed the accelerator.
Before I pull it out and investigate, any ideas? Thanks!

That's a returnless system right? Maybe u have a venting problem or something not letting the fuel flow. Pretty sure that pump works off of voltage to regulate fuel pressure maybe u got some wires backwards if that's possible I dunno not to familiar with those fuel systems

You have either a pinched fuel line somewhere or a leak at the fuel hat (the portion bolted to the top of the cannister). My vote goes for a bad O ring in the hat.

Thanks guys, I vote for the bad o-ring in the hat and will check it out.
