Can’t be asked now as it is all back together but should have video it

 

how would two negative run a pump?

Of course they don't. NEO25T's high tech diagram explains it perfectly. The pump is run from the power from the battery positive which flows from terminal 30 to 87, through the pump and back to earth...when the relay is activated by the power coming from the ignition source through 85 to 86 (or the other way round as you will have discovered it matters little) and then to the ECU where it is earthed as with most things connected to the ECU.

BTW the best place for a fuse is between the battery and  #30

Well explained so what happens when power from ecu goes then you are missing one of the sources needed( positive or negative) right?

 

if you do then it shouldn’t matter if you have a permanent ground or ecu ground

My battery to #30 cable is 00 gauge and heavy insulated, bit overkill for 2 walbro pumps but at least its there for if i decide to relocate the battery later. 

In this case, like most cases bigger is always better ?

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
