Good Morning.

Brand spanking new member here, and liking what I have seen. Been lurking a bit this weekend and you guys have already helped me with some troubleshooting. Thanks!

I am one of 3 Administrators on DodgeTalk.com, so i appreciate the value of a good forum first hand.

Recently acquired a 95 SC300 "project" with low miles, and a solid drive train, but having sat undriven for 5 years, Im sure i will have thousands of posts and questions.

First order of business is complete fluid changes, plugs, filters, etc and get her to fire up.

After troubleshooting a "No fuel" issue based on the info I learned here, we have determined the fuel pump is shot (12V at the tank detected, FP ECU bypass mod performed).

I dont need a racing fuel pump, but i want a good one. We have drained the tank, cleaned it, etc, and wanted to see what you guys suggested before I order one.

ALSO, while im in here, would you all reccomend replacing the sending unit as well?

What part do you guys recommend for this?

Finally, are there any other "Gotcha's" or Red Flags I might need to know about as i perform the initial maintenance to get this thing running?

Thank you all in advance,

Dane Skirtech

 

Fuel pump wise; if your are just planning to get the car up and running as a daily driver, no need for an aftermarket pump, put a factory one back in. Sending unit should be fine, I don't see any issues with other than sitting for a little while.

Thanks guys! appreciate it!

I am trying my best not to ask questions without searching first, but Im having trouble finding out.

In my 95 SC300, what engine do i have? Its an Auto tranny if that helps.

Thanks! That helps when reading articles on the site. I know whats applicable and whats not.
