You never know what to believe when someone says they changed something and they really didnt. Mine doesnt go past that either but i get around to that next year and im glad because i would probably just go faster anyways and get in trouble.these guys know these cars inside out so if they say you need springs i would go buy springs no questions asked besides they wont break your bank  If you really wanted to you could buy me a set too so i get off my ass and replace mine too

Thanks for the info guys. The relay comes on for two seconds and shuts down as it should if i dont start the car. My guess is there is probably no check valve at all. As the summer is over and i will only drive the car another month or so i will worry about it next year. I will keep all those options you guys give me open and maybe order something over the winter. I really hate having to spend money on parts two and three times over. Sometimes i wonder if its better to let it sit in the driveway and just look at it cuz everytime i start it lately it costs more than just gas lol

Ive checked everything on my car and i know its the pump cause i put my stock pump in and it holds pressure. My only complaint is is takes a second or two longer to start the car. I know if i claim warranty i will be told it is something i did so i dont bother. I am wondering if there are any other alternatives to buy. My car is a daily driver as long as the weather is nice so i definatly want reliability. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks Steve

I know this is a little off topic but my stock pump that i had in the car held pressure for awile after i shut it off. I have since installed two of these walbro pumps and the pressure bleeds off almost instantly when i shut it down.i made sure the clamps were tight and even i jammed a smaller hose on the pump because even with the clamp super tight the hose felt funny. I have purchased all my injectors and wiring harnesses and even a sending unit and have been very happy with everything but these damn pumps.sorry to get off topic was just curious. Thanks

When i bought my pump and harness from racetronix they asked the colours on the wires going to the pump and sending unit. Apparantly there are two options and maybe you got the wrong one. Thats why he informed me to double check that the positive and negative match up to the positve and negative to the harness.

when i bought my pump from racetronix they told me to make sure that i check the polarity of the pump because the positve and negative could be reversed.

myself i would turn the radio up a little louder and drive the damn car and take the car to someone who can figure out your 02 and blms for you.lots of guys out there willing to help you.my jeep had a terrible knock to it and i got another100000k ms before it blew.on another note you should never start a car with a dry oil filter and especially any engine with a turbo unless you like to hear knock knock knock at start up.
