This photo is key on; car not started

When I start the car, only the far left "spoiler" light stays on. It goes out once the car is going forward at least 4 mph.

Spoiler deploys @~ 75 MPH and retracts @~45 MPH

Installing fuel pump

Is this idiot proof? By that I mean; given the pattern of the tabs, can the pump go in incorrectly relative to the sending unit installation?

JBauer, you are correct

Did you do project 85 at the same time?

Did you go with a LED high beam bulb?

schrader valve on fuel rail
