Hello, thanks for reading my post.
To answer your question, Yes. The car is running standard Boost. It peaks at .9 bar and holds nominally at .8 bar on a remote gauge.
I have replaced the phase sensor and it is gapped at 0.3 mm.
I have replaced the fuel filter inside the last 300 miles with a genuine ford item.
I have at a previous time checked the voltage at the pump, and although I don't remeber the exact figure, I do remember that the voltage value I got didn't immediately give me cause for concern.
However, I haven't rewired it. Just to make sure I don't add any confusion, Do you mean for me to;
Put in a fresh wire from the fuel pump relay all the way back to the + terminal on the fuel pump.
And put in a fresh wire all the way from the fuel pump - terminal right back to the - post on the battery?
Or is your advice to bypass the fuel pump relay altogether and take a 12v feed directly off the + terminal on the battery?
I do really appreciate any help to get her running right, but surely this would mean the pump was permanently powered up?
