Not being funny but you chose a tuner who as no concept of electrics let alone tuning engines......and you wonder why your car is always fucked.....get rid of the people that tune it and it will resolve this issue.

Do you still have the crash switch inline ?

If so, bypass it temporarily for a few days as these are known for being intermittent
as I found out on all of my 4 sapphires I had. !!!

If the ECU is borrowed on a pemanent basis and you want to relocate it to another cossie in exchange for some beverage tokens just let me know

Your original pump was quiet but you thought it was fucked, now you have a spare quiet one too then
