No I have no diodes.. it is a very basic setup. I think the reason it was staying closed was because the pump was stalled.. if it runs i'm sure this will not be a problem as it does when running 12V.

The current/voltage relationship depends on whether the pump is loaded/unloaded or stalled.. the current and voltage will only increase proportionately to each other in a stalled condition (IE back EMF constant).

In a loaded condition the current will remain fairly constant with voltage change as the back EMF will also vary as the pump speeds up or slows down. If you had no regulator or friction in your fuel line, varying the voltage would do very little to the current draw however.

Sure if you increase the voltage the current will also increase slightly when the pump is loaded but not proportionately. If the pump goes from running at a set voltage and suddenly stalls. For that same voltage you will see a large spike in current. This was the concern.

With your V=IR you are not considering I=(V-E)/R where the real voltage (potential difference) across the windings is important. (E = Back EMF)

The pump resistance may be fixed, but the back EMF changes. If this back EMF hits 0 (Stalled pump) the current seen at the pump will then become input voltage x coil resistance = huge current and a burnt out pump...

A voltage divider is a standard way of reducing a voltage. They use two resistors with different values and the voltage output is determined by the ratio of resistance values of these two. They are in series but the output is taken out between these.

The GTR module is not as simple as a resistor voltage divider as it drives a fairly large load. Usually resistor voltage dividers are used for signal currents only. (IE milliamps)

I have looked at the method you described of adding a bypass around the 044, but it seems silly to add yet another pump when this one will do 800HP on it's own. Why add more when you can slow the pump.. a PWM motor speed controller will do this perfectly.. without reducing voltage supply to the pump.

So I don't think it's all as simple as people are adding here.. and I am fairly confident my setup will work fine with a few tweaks :)

Update:

Seems to work a treat. Problem is now that my internal GTR pump running with no pressure against it is now louder than the 044 at 7V..

The 044 kicks in to full voltage at around 2.6V and off at about 1.4V. Took it for a drive around the hills and this seems perfect.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
