so i put my ppe in tonight...all is working as it should the pump turns on and is pumping fuel she pulls great in the high rpms where it started to dog before and if your rolling and punch it she shifts and goes but now i cant build more then 10psi on the line:confused: when you try to launch at 10psi it does nothing for about 2 seconds then rips...what gives? same tune as before....haven't had a chance to log it yet

any chance the pump output pressure isnt correct and causing this?

look in your tune...Might have the fuel/tq at the line and your being limited now....

Was the tune designed with a lift pump in mind....?

thanks mike...im not sure...nick didnt know that i didnt have a pump so it could go either way...you would think that at the line with low RPM like that the pump wouldn't even matter.... but ill certainly check that. would you happen to know what table it is off hand?

You have to log it man , there is no way we can help you with out a log , I agree wirth Mike , probably a base torque or TLIQ issue , not sure why it would change with the lift pump but sometimes strange things happen .

il email my tuner just to be sure but im figuring it must of been some kinda weird fuel bug:confused::confused::confused:

i mean it ripped in the high rpms and i even tried driving with the pump off to make sure it really was "free flowing" and it drove fine....


thanks though trent

Had a PPE, Best pump I ever had, lasted for a long time. Switched to a FASS 95 cause I was talked into it that it was quieter...nope, not quieter, and now having rail pressure problems. Picking a PPE pump up here in a few days to throw back on.
