I wired my fuel pump with new wiring, using the coil and the positive batt with a relay and a swich to turn off the fuel pump when the key is on.
Now for some strange reason, I seem to have more power! I was driving home and I was using my normal amount of gas to go, and I have a whole bunch more get up.. I wasnt on full throttle because I think I would have gotten less power, so in my mind I was floring it.. Felt much nicer! BUT I think the drivability was a little worse, could have been my imagination.. I think my next step is to clean the injectors... Andrew |

From the sound of it, the new wiring takes power from the coil and uses it to trigger a relay, and the relay powers the pump.
This is exactly what the stock wiring does, though a bit less directly. When you use the "power to the ECU" pin on the relay board to power the pump, it is exactly what you are doing. So congrats, Andrew--you and your dad just replicated what was already in there! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) --DD |
