wiring might be worn thru the insulation somewhere and arcing or something. or the terminals that connect to the fuel pump might be bad or something. of course you might just have been real unlucky and got 2 bad fuel pumps in a row.

I'm guessing Foreign Object Ingestion- were you running filter/s on the intake side of the pump??

Cousin of mine at one time was doing autopsies on failed Bosch fuel pumps & 90%+ of failures were caused by the pump itself sucking up crap.

mine sucked up crap 3 weeks ago. started making sucking/straining sounds.

it's at bosch right now, waiting for it to get back to my mechanics. fk they take their time!

do you have any ideas to stop this?

like its been said above..check wiring especially grounding wire as they can come lose quite easily if someone has fiddled with it in the past.

Happened to me the other day. grounded it properly and the pump started priming again. maybe something to do with pumps but i doubt 2 decent pumps would fail on you until they arnt installed correctly.

if your curious.

the two sounds you describe is the fuel pump changing voltage, this is normal.

on idle the fuel pump control module reduces the voltage to the pump, to prevent noise and excessively heating the fuel, once you open the throttle it goes to full voltage mode, so it makes more noise.

Hey guy.. I donno why My bosh went But the reason why My Walbro went is coz My Mechanic Forgot to Put the Filter on the end of the fuel pump.. I had to remove my pump and have my hand in the tank for hours untill i realised that It didn't fall off.. he just forogt to put it on.. Well its either Him or his apprentice.. Anway, He Still claims that Filter is still in the tank and he wants me to drop the tank... I know for a fact its not in their and i dont want to drop the tank so I've ordered a New Walbro fuel pump ans i'm still waiting for it to come in...

Thanks for all your input guys.. ;)

there is a fuel pump relay, and also a fuel pump fuse.

fuse supplies relay, relay supplies pump with +12v.

so if you don't have +12v at pump, check those out.

the fuel pump control module supplies a variable ground/earth to the pump to control pump speed.

so it has nothing to do with that, if its only +12 supply you need.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      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!
