fuel pump failure after only 4 days

[NY_GN]

Aeromotive stealth 340 died after only four days. I went WOT three times and that's all she wrote for the pump. I feel like I'm a test monkey for parts.

Getting enough voltage to the pump?

It worked great for all four days and Ya it was getting enough juice, got a hotwire kit.

Red Armstrong FTW......I bought a racetronix double pumper hanger and put two reds pumps in it......

Power or ground issue.

I recently found a bad hot wire relay on a friend's car. You could hear the relay pull in (made click sound) when you keyed the car up but when checking for voltage out of the relay, there was none.

You can't be. That's me.

Red Armstrong is a pump manufacturer?

Did you measure voltage at the PUMP?

I recently had a hot wire relay from racetronix go bad after only a few runs. I called them and they sent me 2 of them. Put it on a fired right up.

No he just modifies and sells them and they work...Old school but im gonna use a my double pumper to run 10s on corn....

I have dealt with many GN pump failures, and the majority of the time is is NOT the pump, but something in the wiring?

So you have done the ultimate pump test and connected a power and ground wire to the connector going into the tank?

You need to bypass ALL the car wiring even if you need to bring a battery close to the tank to verify if the pump will run.

If it still does not run you then need to pull the sender, and put power/ground right to the pump wires to verify the pump motor is bad.

Aeromotive makes a good product, and chances are it is not bad after 4 days of use.

I had 1 go bad after about 20 easy miles and 3 days.

I hadn't hooked the Hot wire kit up as I did not think It was needed for putting around on break in time. After Aeromotive replaced it I hooked up the hotwire kit and i'm sure it's running fine today with the new owner.
