tested main fuel pump >good, has a new bosch in-tank fuel pump, new spark plugs, new bosch wires, air/fuel filter, new FAE fuel pump relay.
Replaced it with a Bosch and it hasn't stalled at all even when the tank is almost empty. It was the fuel pump all along, can't believe it lasted so long from the first signs of failure(over a year)!
I finally got the new, correct pump installed and the Rabbit lives again!
The hard start issue appears to have fixed itself though. Starts just as well as it did with the dual pump setup now.
The Bosch 044 that I am running has a running pressure of over 72psi... over double what the Digi system requires, and I have had it installed for a little while (factory FPR) and no problems.
I was able to pull off this conversion on Sunday. Car runs well. Super easy install.
I purchased a fuel pump. It was identical to the stock VDO pump and it has worked well since installation.
since the original pump (aged) is hardly safe over 200whp imo; esp with increased rail pressure.
I went through 4 Airtex pumps in about 1.5 years in my car. I seriously thought there was a problem with my tank or fuel but it was clean as a whistle in there. Finally upgraded to a Walbro and haven't had an issue since.
No it will NOT work with the current pump....the R32 pump will burn out as the fuel pump controller pulses the pump which burns out the brushes.
