Racetronix pump, running, no fuel. Installed a racetronix pump with hotwire kit on my 02 TA
pump is running, but I'm not getting any fuel.
I'm using evap as return, but even with the feed line open I don't even get any air.
Did I just get a dud pump?
Need to have this fixed in 7 hours..but if it's a bad pump I guess I'm screwed.

Do you have the fuel tank installed back in the car? Did you fill up the fuel reservoir where the pump is located so the pump would not run dry then add more fuel, instructions said to add 10 gallons to insure there is enough fuel for the pump to operate initially! Just as a reminder all fuel lines have to be hooked up for the pump to build pressure. I just finished installing mine this past weekend and i cycled mine 2-3 times before firing engine. My pump shows 62 psi on fuel pressure gauge at idle. Recheck your fuel lines at the pump you may possibly have installed the fuel lines on top of tank in the wrong order.

Called the supplier Texas Speed, the positive and negative terminals were reversed.
The kit with the hotwire included two pump to assembly power cables. Instructions don't mention which one to use just to check the leads going to the assembly which are the same on each cable, the leads differ where they go to the pump. This isn't called out in the instructions.
Long story short I ended up having to cut an access panel to get at the pump quickly because of this.
Beyond that snafu the directions were really good, perhaps the best I've seen. Car is running just fine now.

Our web store lists the proper FPWK-017 kits for each version of pump.
The in-tank harness which is packed with the FPA-001A is for use with the factory bulkhead connector and FPWH-001 harness only.
