For the small annoyance it represents, just not worth it. (to me....)
is there supposed to be free play in the fitting that is on the fuel rail? It spins easy and i can pull it away from the fuel rail like 1/4 inch maybe more.

So im assuming that means no? haha it doesn't pull of but i can move it. i tried pushing it on harder to see if maybe it wasn't on fully from when i did the plenum but it didn't do anything. I even used the correct tool to remove the fitting not two screw drivers like i have read about.

Ah, that one. I was thinking you were talking about the pressure test port. (now you understand why I was having a heart attack. )

Nah, the fuel line can move around some. If it stays on, and doesn't leak, you are golden.

Just went to lunch and i can't hear it prime when you turn the key on anymore. I switched the fuel system relay with the horn relay, still can't hear it prime. Another fuse to check or bad pump?

Will the pump run while you are cranking the engine? Will it start?
