Hi all, You may remember a few weeks ago me writing and moaning about my car choking and dying when warm.
After changing ect ats map and phase sensors and checking all resistences and so on, Its finally fixed it was the fuel pump, put new uprated 1 on and all is fine again yeha after 8 wks of head scratching.
When i bought the car it had a crushed fuel pipe at the front where some dick had jacked up on it, so maybe that made the pump work too hard.
I changed the pipe and all seemed ok till i took it on the track after taking it to stg 3. Just goes to show its not always so obvious to find these faults.
Big thanks to all who helped. cheers steve

 

have you also changed the fuel filter recently?

what is the fuel pump voltage at idle ?

 

Yeah changed filter 1st mate then pump and it has 11.8 volts at idle. As i said fixed now so well happy. cheers steve

 

I'd rewire the pump wiring with that voltage m8.

 

Glad you found the fault. There is nothing worse when you have a fault and you carnt find it. Well done.

 

You need 13v at idle, rewire the pump, its better to be safe than sorry.

Steve.

 

3rded - rewire the pump. If you've got 13.8V (ish) at the battery at idle, 11.8V at the pump suggests that the current wiring should be upgraded.

 

Ok guys thanks for that, Was thinking of doing it to be sure, so now i will.
Cheers steve
