ok guys we got it all set up with one more problem. the car will start and will idle but only for 30-40 seconds. the engine is already warm so its not anything to do with that. it just starts and runs for 30-40 seconds and dies out. what do you guys think?

hmm, the pump only runs while cranking, then cuts off. we ended up hard wiring the pump connector behind the drivers seat to the battery with a disconnect in the car until we can get it hooked to run with the ignition in "on".



its running now, and running pretty well. we just need to get it fine tuned and it will be good to go.

its up and running, with just a few problems left, throttle calbe has wayyyy too much slack, flooring it only opens a little past quarter throttle, and we gotta do a cutoff switch to the pump, that and tuning and its good to go
