Power cuts randomly

Hey guys,

this is my second post in this forum. I have this issue on my car for while hasnt been fixed and took to places they are not familiar with hope some one can relate to it or kow whats going on.

while ago say 3-4 months ago i have replaced the fuel pump(walbro255 high flow) as stock fuel pump was broken, and car wasnt starting so had to call mobile mechanic to come have a  look, and he discovered fuel pump was the issue and replaced with walbro as i mentioned above.

ever since i have replaced the fuel pump i have got weird driving experience, like it randomly cuts power like when  taking sharp left turn or right, driving on rocky roads or bumpy roads, and when u rev hard say past 5-6000 rpm the idle will sound funny.

before when car get stall i can turn back on straight away and drive but 3 days ago as i was driving car stalled and tried to start like normal it wouldnt start, it was choking and car died again. Tried for 15 mins atleast failed to start. As i was waiting for tow truck for 1 hr i thought lets give a shot to start it back again. And surprisingly it started. I didnt drive for 5 mins just wanted to see if it would turn off, but didnt . Drove back home which was 6 kms away.

havent drove since bit stress dont know how to explain to people they look confused after explaining to them. 

Any idea whats happening with the car. 

 

Please help this brother.

 

 

regards

amit

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
