Default Re: Engine Coolant Temp sensor - failure symptoms?

when this happens the fuel pump also gets very noisy

thought it was fucked but i put on a new GpA badboy yest and its still the same!

Pressure drops to zero?
If that genuinely happens then either:

1) The regs fooked.
2) Pumps fooked.
3) Pump wiring no good or the lines are restricted.
4) Blocked fuel filter.
5) Intake to pump blocked.

I dont see ANY other possibilities at all.
