Car dies at WOT,now not starting!

[Bugalugs]

You wont believe it,my car has a major problem.I didnt have any problems on the cruise even after the hills run on Friday night.Sat morning i went out shopping and when i was heading home i was at a set of traffic lights when i went to take off my car started to die.I found just giving it abit of throttle it was alright but anything over 2500rpm she would start to die.Now she wont start at all.

I did a ECU check and it came up 55(all ok).I then took off the fuel hose that goes to the fuel rail and guess what NO FUEL being pumped through.Hmm does this mean that the fuel pump is stuffed.I cant hear it prime but i can hear the relay click after a few seconds when the ignition is on.

I`m going to fit another fuel pump in the next couple of days(BIG THANKS TO WHATSISNAME FOR THE SPARE PUMP) or maybe someone else may know of a different fault before i fit it.

Lucky it didnt go when we where halfway through the hills.

G'day Matt,

I dont know much about troubleshooting, but if you want to get hold of a good pump that wont let you down I have a spare bosch 044 motorsport pump(near new). It's probly overkill & it's

not cheap but if you are going to look for more power down the track it will keep plenty of fuel up to the engine.

Regards,

John.

Hi Matt,

I don't know if this helps but I remember having a similar problem once where there was a dodgy wire going to my AFM. I resoldered the wire and it seemed to have fixed the problem (as in the car not liking anything over 2500rpm, I'm not sure about the fuel thing though).

Tim mentioned that there can be problems regarding the Bosh 044 pumps with the std fuel pressure reg.

Apparently due to the huge amounts of flow from the pump the std reg on idle starts build pressure hence over fueling on idle.

I had a Bosh 910 fitted that is external it was $210.

It will handle up to around 250rwkw apparently.

Enough for me..

Hi John,how much do you want for the pump?

Legend-I was talking to Whatsisname over the phone about this and we thought the same thing but the fuel thing came up so i`ll try that first and see what happens.

Well they cost over $500 new & this one has not had much use because the car has been off the road so much.I was hoping to get $400 for it! You should talk to Mark first about this 'cause it might be unnecessary for the set up you currently have.

Do you have std reg & injectors? Maybe a std GTR pump would be heaps.I think they go for around $200 but dont quote me on that.

When we took the R33 to Willowbank we were running 3 x 044 pumps!!! I also have a spare surge tank with fittings ($100) & a

number of other goodies for sale.
