ok I'll try to explain to you without picture...

1.open the boot.

under you battry, more likely directly under the fuse box.

there should be a Gray square panel with 4 screws... - if you unscrew them that's the access into the fuel tank. (I believe fuel tank is kidney shaped).

and if you pull put white cap - it will contain long cylinder instrument and HEAPS of WIRES!!! yes in the fuel tank!! wires.

Please be careful and DO NOT UN-DO (unplug) black horse - its fuel line - one for IN and ONE FOR OUT (returning back to fuel tank) - be very careful cuz if you just unplug them it will SPEW out all the fuels. :) not good.

sorry about da gramatical and spelling mistake ;)

BTW what is the problem? is your fuel (Tank) sensor broken?

cheers

thanks for the reply glue...

well the problem is, the car was working fine... then the next thing i knew the thing wont start... had a mechanic look at it and he say it cud be the fuel pump, had other stuff checked out and they are all fine... what happends is u turn the ignition the engine turns but doesnt stay running, there is fuel in the tank (about last quarter) but when u hear the engine it sound like there is no fuel, it'll turn the engine but then it dies, and i dont hear the usual liquid gushing sound (not sure if u'll know what i mean) when u turn the key to the ignition point.... so next thing to check out is the fuel pump....

anyone else have any ideas what it might be???? the car just wouldnt start, there was nothing indicating anything was wrong... she was sweet, it just sounds like i got no fuel

thanks again for the info....

will check it soon as i have the time

peace

to check the pump, get some one to turn the ignition key on, while you lightly kink the fuel hose in the engine bay, if it pressurises and tries to unkink itself its fine, dont mess around in the tank for no reason. Also you should be able to hear it, stick ur head in the boot or under the back of the car and listen for it as someone else turns the ignition on.

thanks for the heads up guys...

NA_R33: yeh iv been trying to hear that sound ur referring to but i cant hear it at all....

thats y i wanted to take the pump out to see if its working order.... i will also do that hose pressurething u are talking about. thanks

fresh: where is this fuel pump relay u are talking about???? is it in the engine bay of in the rear along with the battery?

thanks agains fellaz!!

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
