Recently fitted a brand new fuel pump from autospecialists (not bosch...didnt realise till it arrived! but looks identical!)
Anyway, reason for a new pump was because the old one was drawing current and heating up the positive feed wire to the pump, and that im told means the pump is having to draw more current as its working harder as its fubar!
NOW
Fitted the new pump, and it was still heating up the wire...but gradually its been heating it up more and more until today its burning hot on a short drive, plus the pump sounds like a bag of spanners...
I thought maybe the fuel filter was blocked, so put a new one on, still doing it...
could a fuel line be blocked as it sounds like its sturggling to pump..after fitting the new fuel filter it would need to fill that up as it primes, it sounded like a normal pump till the filter filled up with fuel then once it built pressure it sounded like the bag of spanners mentioned before? (I have the fuel relay bridged atm as ive not got a relay) oh car runs but has developed a miss fire, maybe its run lean and fucked my 300 mile old NKG plugs as I hear they have to have a near perfect air/fuel mixture or they break?
im at my witts end, Im not rich enough to keep buying new parts and guessing
