Quote: Sometimes, the one way check valve in the secondary pump can fail and leak some fuel back into the tank when the secondary pump is not operational

Thye double pumper is a tighter fit than the stock unit but it works

yea but the secondary pump is operating fine, the primary pump is the one not operating as it should.

tighter fit in what way, i know its a little bit harder to get into the tank, but should it be hitting the metal inside the tank?

Bump bump and away for my man Steve. Love the setup, did you make any progress with the pump problem? It's Bill the original green fairy owner.

It's hard for me to see your problem being anything else other than pump related. I don't know how the two pumps tie together never installing a double pumper from Buschur before, but if one flows 43psi and the other flows 23psi? How many volts is the first pump seeing vs the second I'm sure it's close to the same.

Good luck and call Buschur for some insight. The car looks good by the way.

the first pump is supposed to work just like the stock one did, the 2nd pump comes on at 6 psi of boost. They connect with a Y into the stock feed line. There is a one way check valve in the hose of the 2nd pump so when the first pump is operating it doesnt flow fuel back into the 2nd pump. The 2nd pump is working perfectly. Only thing is I couldnt see the check valve in the 2nd pump line so maybe its not there??? IDK what the issue is

It appears to me as though you are re-installing the pumps 90 degrees from where they are suppose to be. Unless you have the front seat out of the car and are sitting in the car where the drivers seat use to be they are not pointing the right direction. They fittings we install should point towards the drivers side rear door.

With all the wiring/sensor problems you are having I'd look at the wiring going to the primary pump as the problem. If it ends up being a pump I'll replace it.

yea i actually slid the front seat all the way up and i was sitting on the floor so the fittings are facing the driver rear door.

The primary pump is using the stock wiring, you think the stock wiring went bad? if you think thats the case, then couldnt I just tap into the power wire for the 2nd pump and hook it up to my factory plug?

I had a similiar problem after a Zeitronix install, ended up being a loose cable on the ECU. I would hunt around for some loose connections that may be causing the grimlins in your system.

Good luck.
that was my problem too, when hooking the boomslang up for the EBC i guess it wasn't plugged in all the way or got knocked around but threw all kinds of weird codes, sputtered when running sometimes, other times wouldn't start. i hope you figure it out and it's just something stupid.
