Well super....think my VP just died

My experience with VP's is that they are tougher than most folks give them credit for. Sure they aren't as reliable as a p-pump or CP3 but they also aren't as weak and feeble as the Internet would have you believe. I'd run that VP until it started giving me trouble. No sense in dropping the coin on replacing a pump just because it saw 0psi once.

You do realize you're talking to a guy that put a 12v in a 3rd gen because all dem electricals are the devil.

Slim to none. But weirder things have happened. Chance the bad connector shorted the pump out.

Well I guess I'll pick up a couple spade connectors and see if I can replace them.

Once I get this figured out I'm just gonna run the VP till it dies. She's been fed well her entire life and I use two stroke so she's been taken care of. Hopefully now she'll take care of me.

I'm also waiting to hear back from pure flow, they might have some additional trouble shooting steps for me.
 
Check to make sure you didn't pick up crap from the tank. If you aren't running filters before the 150, you might have picked something up. Easy to check. Just in case something is stuck in the rotor.

Bad ground?

I thought that might have been it. Took a wire wheel on a cordless drill and cleaned up the one and only ground at the battery but it didn't make a difference.

Pure Flow is sending me another pump. Josh at Pure Flow says it has to be a bad pump otherwise it would run with direct power put to it. Something might be jammed in there as I'm not running a filter prior to the Raptor but either way it's covered. I thought there was screened inlet port though?

I still don't understand if it's a bad pump why I have no power beyond the relay though. Could a fried circuit in the pump not allow the circuit to be complete or something? Wiring is not my specialty :nail:
 
Just wanted to update this....Pure Flow sent me another pump, I put it on Friday night and after bleeding the injectors it started right up, 16 lbs of pressure. Must be something fried in the pump that wasn't allowing the circuit to be completed even when jumping the relay. Relay I thought was bad works great so I'll be taking the other one back.
