I have an overheating fuel pump in the front trunk. I think it overheats because of the heat coming off the radiator and screws up the pump enough to so I loose fuel pressure down to 1psi.
The pump is a new holley red w/a holley regulator. The pump gets so hot you cannot keep you hand on it. I iced it down a bit and my pressure immediately comes back up. I considered the heat could be from the pump, but the wiper motors also get too hot to touch. So where do you mount your pump (if not in the front trunk)? Or what kind of pump do you have (if in the front trunk)? ..or maybe I have to cut more openings..? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I think Tony is right on with the wiring. As much air flow as there should be going thru your trunk it should not get to hot to touch. Especially if your car isn't overheating. Sounds like your air flow is fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Everything in your front trunk being so hot does seem weird too. So maybe there isn't the air flow needed? I'm stumped (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
