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.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
