little tip!
my car was poorly the other day,after fitting loadsa new bits ,and a twin fan front mount intercooler,i was flumuxed as to what it could have been,now i know it was a fueling issue,and my fuel systems brand new,so it could only be starvation,as it happened as the boost went up,.
so i got on the floor,and reached to check the leads to the pump,and lo-and behold,the negative just fell off
,so there i was,sat morning,7oclock,under remanufacturing both wires after cutting back a fair amount of rotten wire,and re-sheathing it all safe, i got to try it on relatively quiet morning roads, and ,,we-hey,bingo,thats the daddy!
my fueling glitch has gone for sure,
looks like ill need a new clutch soon tho
so just check your connection to the pump,if you have a fueling prob,.remember to have the ignition off,or better still ,disconnect from the battery.

cheers,,apparently,just a little bit of bad current flow,from say,brittle wireing due to age,corrosion,or a dodgy connection to the power posts on the pump,is enough to affect the flow rate big time,.
seems a waste of good v-power,to have just a slight fueling glitch.
remember, fuel is dangerous,so dont be sparking those wires around that tank.,disconnect ,to be sure.
