hey ok here goes ill try explain best i can what problem im getting

sunday just gone i was driving along and my fuel pump died and car stalled

so i order a new walbro intank pump, i got the pump yesterday and we attempted at installing it

which i thought we done a alrite job, we wired in a new relay aswell with new wiring, but what was

strange was before we started wiring the pump in, we could not get power to the 2 pin plug at ALL which

left me and my mate stuffed, then 15mins later havnt done anything we get power, then 5mins later no

power again and again and again, we had no idea what was happening, anyway we thought stuff it and

put it all back together and started wiring in the new relay, we run a power wire straight from the battery > relay,a

earth from relay straight to the battery,a earth to relay then earth 2 chassis from the pump and a power wire to the relay from the

pump, now the pump flows constantly while car is running, just before driving home from work, car decided

to stall 3 times just conk out instantly,i pulled over the side of the road and tried crankin the car over and

over but it wouldnt start,the pump was priming,eventually after about 10 x at kicking it over it started and i

noticed that the pump DID not prime the time it started, wat im wanting to know is, is the stock fuel

regulator having a heart attack with a constant flow of fuel? im scared 2 drive the car incase i stall at set of

lights and spend next 5mins trying to get it to start again :( also the way we wired up the relay does this

sound right to you all? who have exp putting a new pump in. hope u guys can help me out cheers

Justin

the fuel regulator will be fine with the flow, it will just return any unused fuel back to the pump return line. have you checked for other obvious causes of stalling (it might not be the pump). stock ecu diag would help. also check airflow meter and plug

do i just turn on the car and kick it over and take the ecu outta kick panel will it have lights if its showing any errors? ive just recently cleaned the idle valve thing on back of plenum like it says in the DIY section, fixed my idle but now im worried about the car just dieing in the middle of driving :(

Sure you put the hoses etc back on properly? Could be a leak in there. Double check everything you touched first. Then check the AFM is plugged in (although the ECU diag will tell you that).

yep i checked all hoses and there all on there fine, i cannot hear a vacum leak at all, when car is idling fuel regulator is screaming! because fuel pump is pushing constant fuel to it, swear this cant be good? should i upgrade the fuel reg? maybe the reg is over working itself then shutting down therefor stallin the car, then when i prime it more it finally kicks over?
