Hi folks. I have to admit I am the one who had the problem Greazzer mentioned above. Needless to say I was giddy like a school girl when installing the new spring. Unfortunately immediately after, as Greazzer mentioned it would just crank endlessly without starting. To the point that it drained the battery. Assuming I did something wrong, I put the old spring back and got a jump from AAA. Same problem. Which obviously suggests that the spring had nothing to do with it. There is something else up with my fuel system.

For those of you who are concerned with Greazzers post earlier, please don't worry. He has been an excellent source of knowledge for a noob like me and has been thoroughly patient and enlightening to my millions of queries. I m absolutely certain his spring is not the problem so please continue buying them from him and/or supporting the r&d that goes into projects like this which are more labors of love than business ventures.

On a different note. Wheb i took the OFV out a bit of fuel fell out. Which i could do nothing about but after installation and hand pumping, it seemed fine. When I primed my hand pump, it was squirting fuel out of its edges. Is this normal? I assumed it did this because there was enough fuel in the pump hence it over flowed. What are the signs of a failing lift pump? I did some digging and learned of a repair kit for lift pumps.
Also, could the amount of torque applied to the OFV when I reinstalled it affect starting performance?
fWIW, the car starts after 1 or 2 cranks on the average ever since I upgraded to pencil glowplugs. In fact it did so this morning as well so last evenings ordeal is still totally mind boggling to me.
I would really appreciate any advice or suggestions anyone might have. Also, I will have my Indy mechanic install it today just to be safe and see if the same problems occur. Your suggestions in the mean time would definitely help in identifying potential culprits.
Thanks in advance.
