got the fuel pump re-wired yesterday with richie.
he did a fantastic job with the wiring, and very neat with the wire protection he used too.
we had to use a lighter (very crude lol) to heat shrink the shrink wrap on 1 occasion as the heat gun threw its toys out the pram breifly. we put a new fuse in it and it still didnt work until i spotted that it wasnt plugged in LMAO.

once the gun was working we got the wiring on all nice and neat to the relay

with the nice wiring covering. to the fuel pump.

through the ususal wire hole.

and to the relays location behind the n/s boot carpet bulkhead using it as the relay and pumps earth. we used the original relay switch wire, cut it, and put it to the new relay.

now we are seeing 13.5 volts at the pump now instead of bearly making 10 volts which is brilliant.
and i can see 14.3 volts sometimes at the secs monitor so there was Stacks of resistance in the old fuel pump wiring.
richie needed More tools from our favorite toy shop Halfords so he hooked up his Innovate afr gizmo and we went for a blast after the shopping at Halfords.

was bezzing around and enjoying being on boost again that much richie told me to stop lol. Probably due to the going home traffic too lol. the car is runnign ever so slightly rich but thats fine. its only a little he said.
thanks again richie.

next on the to do list as my missus keeps nagging me to do it, is to sort the horn out which works buts as soon as i touch the steering wheel or move (slightly lean on the top etc etc) it the horn goe's off.
i have taken the wheel off and as much wiring out as i can with out taking the whole column out. i have changed over the circuit disc's which are right behind the steering wheel boss to no avail.
any ideas anyone.
