Always somethin.

I keep finding the fuse under the hood at the back of the alternator to be fizzled.

The car has lost fuel pressure on me multiple times, usually after getting into boost and letting off the gas.

It has happened now with all 3 fuel pumps, it now has a brand new racetronix 340 with a new hangar.
It also has a new hotwire kit, did the same thing with the old one.

When it dies and I bypass the hotwire kit by plugging in the stock harness and juice the pump a straight 12 volts through the test feed, the pump makes unfortanute noises. I let it sit for 15-20 minutes and it cranks up and drives fine.

Whats the deal? Stock wiring shorting out somewhere?
 
Last time I checked I believe it was around 9-10 volts. I thought this was normal, and thats why we use the hotwire kit?

Did you post your problem in our support forum? This problem has been dealt with before.
 
Lol.....looks like I will be digging into some wiring in the near future, and also posting on the racetronix board.
