Hey recently i had a Bosch 040 and new oxy sensor fitted to my car as both of my old ones were stuffed. Now after the Bosch went in the car either cranks for a lot longer before the engine starts or it wont turn over at all and you need to pump the accel pedal to start it. Anyone got any suggestions as to the cause of this? Obviously its to do with the new pump but anyone know why. Once the car is going it runs fine.

Cheers

which cable is that? sorry got no idea what the earch cable looks like.

My experience with the bosch fuel pumps is the same. The pumps don't hold the fuel pressure once switched off due to backflow through the pump. This results in a longer priming period once the car has been sitting for a while hence the cranking required.

This is probably due to the clearances on these pumps which aren't like the stock units or the walbros which hold system pressure well. I installed a non-return valve in the delivery line of my previous car but it didn't improve things. My current skyline runs a walbro which I am very happy with. Functions better than stock pump IMO.

Hope this helps

So what your saying it that it is the pump and that is just how it is? Sometimes it just cranks and cranks and wont start but then when you turn it over again it will start.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
