Hey guys

Not sure if this is the right forum but i couldnt see electricals anywhere.

The problem is the earth wire at the relay isnt getting current. All the other wires are getting current. The other day the earth wire was getting a low amount but the car wouldnt start.i did manage to start it by grounding with a screwdriver. But now that wont work as the earth wire isnt getting any current at all. The fuse is good and i swapped the relay but it still wouldnt start. When i turn the key in the ignition the fuel pump continues to run until i take the key out. Its running but i dont think theres any pressure to deliver fuel to the engine. The fuel pump is fine its just the relay. Any help would be much appreciated.

I think you should check out the factory wiring first.

The relay has 12V+ constant feed once the IGN is switched on and the grounding of pin 18 at the ecu is what controls the pump.

The high/low speed side of the system works the negative side of the pump.

Full speed has the negative direct to ground.

Low speed has the negative to ground via a resistor.

If you want the pump to run at full speed all the time you simply ground the negative and job done.

If your pump continues to run after the normal 5 second time out, then the wire from Pin18 to the relay could be rubbed through somewhere to ground.

OR the fuel pump control section of the ecu may be faulty.

OR the relay may have melted its contacts together.

All easy stuff to check.

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
