I'm not sure if i have asked this before or not,

I got a bosch 040 fuel pump installed in my car a while back, since then i sometimes have to turn the key a couple times to start the car,(not always) i told the person about this who installed the pump and they said it was fine and that theres nothing wrong, i'm just curious cause with my stock pump i never had to turn the key more then once to start the car, the car ALWAYS started nicely with the stock pump.

thanks

theres a few things that could be causing that problem. Leaky injecotor or blocked? fuel pressure? cranking speed in the tuning. My guess is a blocked injectors or broken o-ring...

My guess is the non-return valve wasn't re-installed with the new pump (no dramas, mine wasn't either), just means you have to start it before the priming stops or the fuel flows back into the tank. Prime for a couple of seconds and start it before it stops priming.

Priming - is when you flick to accessories, and let the fuel pump whine away; its drawing fuel into the stator and pressuring the lines. It will go quieter or quiet when done. Now you hit "start".

You shouldn't need more then one hit of the starter motor.

I was under the impression everyone did this :P

040's I believe come with drain back valves, 044 don't.

Check if holding pressure, connect inline fuel pressure guage, get friend turn on for you watch fuel pressure rise and hold? or drop off? check drain back valve, ok? and right way fitted, install one see what happens?? if still no good look further was ok before but not now, whats the stock pump/internals like compared to repacement, bigger in/out pressure may drop to rapidly before your turning key to start?

040's I believe come with drain back valves, 044 don't.

my 044 came with a banjo style anti-drain back - but i replaced it with a dash style screw on from motorsports connection

are the 040's built in ?

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
