I didn't install the pump, btu I paid quite a bit for the kit and the installation so it sure as hell better be there. It should be above the tank

941LE · #24 06-01-2011, 01:40 AM

wire is for...the FP gauge? Did that gauge needle ever move for you nick?

Only if I bled pressure out of the system and it dropped 2 PSI ont he dyno, apart from that not really, and I'm talking the 12 volt giant red wire from the battery to the fuel pump, goes around the back of the engine then down the firewall and to the back, if that got cut loose at all during the header install it may have fallen onto the header and melted

I will say, whoever did the wiring on that car should be shot. You DO NOT hook a bunch of wires directly off the battery.

Fixed some wiring and the car runs fine now.

Wiring is one thing I actually didn't do, but I paid quite a bit for the fuel pump install so I will be having a chat with the shop that did it, thanks for the heads up and for Mike, sorry about that, guess the shop wasn't as good as their rep/ So you are saying the hotwire kit wasn't even there?
