Hopefully I can get some more years out of this Bosch.
Reportedly the aftermarket ones don't last too long. That's why I had ultimately decided to keep the OE 14 y/o pump in the van
Since the original pump was strong and quiet I decided to reuse it as well and keep the new pump as a spare. I decided to let the perfectly working OE pump run its course.
Wonder if it's fuel related, that happened to my CC turned out to be a Fuel Pump Issues in the gas tank.
044's are awesome pumps, and rarely quit
044 can take A LOT of abuse. They are OEM spec
I reset the timing to 1.0mm left every else as is, and accually got the cold start lever hooked up properly with a spair part from another pump i had laying around
One thing I've noticed with worn fuel pumps is they will still physically operate, but they won't put out the 70psi they're supposed to put out, or their flowrate decreases. In the case of my R32's pump, the flowrate and pressure were significantly decreased, and the load on the circuit was increased. Lots of resistance, overloaded the relay.
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.
After wiring the fuel pump relay terminals together to bypass the relay entirely, after 40 miles of heading back towards Arkansas it died on me again with the exact same behavior as before.
