I know of one that may be coming up for sale. It's a 2014 ruby red metallic with black stripes. One owner, less than 1500 miles. Fully optioned except glass roof. Only modifications would be an oil catch can. Still have the original tube to remove the catch can for a completely bone stock...
FWIW, I swear I think mine does this from time to time as well. I keep it in normal mode but sometimes the ride just feels super harsh like it does in sport mode. When this happens I'll switch it to sport. When I do, I feel no difference whatsoever. I then switch it back to normal and I feel...
I'd recommend getting something (SCT x4 / nGuage for example) to monitor/log some of the data not shown on the display. IAT2 and knock are good examples of points to check in on from time to time.
By periodically data logging I noticed an intermittent high IAT2 temp. It ultimately led me to...
Thank you sir!
Well, my car has always been a flaky one and today is no exception. I replaced the relay with one that works, still no pump. Scratching my head, my wife said maybe if you reset the tune? I figured what the hell, I've tried just about everything else I can think of. Blammo...
I'm not sure how to take that plug apart to examine it. I bypassed that one burnt looking pin (cut that green/white wire on both the male & female connectors & connected them with a new piece of wire).
In doing so, the pump now comes on when I jump it at the fuse box relay. However, when I...
Side note, the VMP HE arrives today. I wonder if it has a harness with it that will bypass this issue or if it just splices into this existing harness?
Alright, making some progress. When I connect the pump (both old & new) directly to the battery with a temp wire connection they run.
Tracing those small harnesses back I found this (attached image):
Looks like I didn't trace the harness(es) back far enough in my initial diagnosis. Now to...
Oh man, that sounds like it was a nightmare to track down. I'll dig into the wiring further in the morning then. Step one will be creating a temporary wire connection from the battery to the old pump to see what happens with that & checking fuses.
Perhaps there was an air pocket in the system before and the pump was fine...just experiencing cavitation or there's a built-in flow switch, etc..
I should probably get one of those vacuum tools to connect to my compressor and pull a vacuum on the intercooler loop to get any trapped air out and...
By feel of both the pump & hoses. I know the pumps are super quiet but I could feel the pump itself it when it was working before and get some sense that it was on. That, plus I could pinch the bypass hose in the past and see a bit more flow in the reservoir tank.
I'm not feeling or seeing...
New pump arrived today. I went ahead and removed the old pump and installed the new one. Do you guys know if there is a flow switch built into these pumps? I ask because this one is not running either.
I confirmed again tonight that I have 12 volts at the plug that connects directly to the...
Good call, thanks. I didn't know the pump ran @50% by design. I think it would be handy to install a switch to manually control the pump & new heat exchanger fans. Might look into rewiring it so I can work that in.
Thanks for the tip on getting the air out. Harness did indeed check out again last night so the new pump is on order. Went ahead and ordered the VMP triple pass HE as well. Figured if I'm going to open the system anyway I might as well do that install at the same time.
Thanks Snoop! I remembered several people here having issues with the harness itself so I spent a lot of time examining that. I'm fairly confident in my diagnosis of it...but I will go over it again tonight (especially the harness) before I order the replacement pump. Just to make certain I'm...
Noticed my IAT2 readings being waaaay too high the last one or two times I drove the car (190 to 200 degrees constantly). Today I decided to check into it. I jumped the ICP relay and I have 11.9 volts at the harness that plugs into the pump...but I don't hear/feel the pump doing anything. So...
We both have MT ET Street S/S drag radial tires on the back (305/35/20). I run radials on the front as well (nitto 555). I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) Crazyredsvt is running the stock goodyear radials on the front.
I think it's the tires. Softer compound and sidewall = more flex perhaps. Especially if you're running them on the stock 9.5" wheels. I have them on 11" wheels and haven't noticed a constant wobbly feel at higher speeds (yet), mainly happens to me when taking off aggressively from a dig...
