Sohn adapter= no fuel on guage

So I just got done installing my kit and when I went to start the car and pull it out of the garage, my gas needle read as empty. I did get coolant on the plug that has the 6 pins in it but I blew it out with an air compressor. Does the gas gauge run through that plug? HELP!!

Did you have it jacked up in the front....might just be stuck...I'd try adding some fuel and see if it changes.

HELP I AM getting oil feed through my oil feed lines but it's almost stopped feeding half way through the lines. and it has been at idle for 15. mins now but it hasn't moved. I have premix in the tank and do not know what to do. HELP

Idling the engine won't move oil through the lines - the OMP rate increases under load and RPM. Putting a strong dose of premix in the fuel tank (just in case) and taking the car for a drive should get things flowing. Avoid high RPMs but load the engine a few times and check the lines again

whenever you drain the OMP lines you should add at least a full tank of premixed fuel, it takes days to fill the lines and actually reach the engine. so in the meantime you aren't getting any lubrication to the seals.

You will be fine with the pre-mix.....

Just don't drive it too hard till it's getting full oil

The Renesis seems to need some OMP output...even with pre-mix
