Dumb question, but how do you pull the pump pushrod out? It's a 413 with about 2,000 miles on it.



You pull the fuel pump, and there is a pipe plug just under it, remove that and the push rod will slide out.

As said, a hose sucking air could be an issue too...check all the stuff in the engine bay and the bit at the sending unit too just incase.
