Sounds EXACTLY like what happened to mine a few weeks ago. Series 2 with a bosch 040.....fuel pump crazy loud...fluttering loss of power. Turns out the fuel pump was shagged and was losing fuel pressure ...and this was a 9 month old pump. When I took it out it was all corroded / oxidized. Went cheap and whacked in a stock pump for the moment and all's well. Dunno if I got a dud pump or what but looking for something other than bosch now.

Interesting coincidence. My pump is around 9 months old too. Just happened all of a sudden. Now what should i do? should i buy a Walbro?

take of the coil pac cover and get a multimetre and make sure all read 1.7Ohms...if not it could be one of the coil packs

for the fuel pump, is it easy to remove and check it ? if its makin' a loud noise and never did ur guarenteed thats the issue

Edited by mr_crust
if the fuel pump is making noises when it does it then it is going to be something to do with the fuel system. it could possibly be the fuel pressure regulator.

im currently running the stock fuel pressure regulator.

i do however have a Sard Fuel pressure regulator that is not in use. What kind of sealing do i need to use when i connect those 2 pipes (not the fuel hoses) to the regulator? After i connect the fuel regulator, would i need to adjust the fuel pressure or do i just leave it? Cheers.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
