Default calling Racetronix and their guru's *help*

Ok i have a racetronix kit with the purple pump in my car. It has the hotwire kit in it. I've tested power, i've test grounds(i'm an electronics tech so i know how to do electrical), i've tested the relay and it seems my harness is bad or has bad plugs. I have the 4 pin square connector (F99 type kit?) and what happens is twice now i've either started the car or been driving and the pump shuts off, dead. Won't fire at all, no pump priming. I bypass the hotwire kit by plugging the stock square connector directly to the pump assembly and take out the hotwire kit as the problem. Car fires up, runs perfect. Is there a way to get replacement pins and connectors from Racetronix or can i buy the same kit from them anymore. I know they offer a flat 4 pin connector kit and adapter that goes into the pump assembly but i don't feel like switching my car over to the newer, update assembly unless that's my only option?

What part are you looking to replace on the harness?



Maybe these will help, if not contact Mike at ws6store.

The wiggle test is the best way to find which one is possibly bad or loose. it could also be a loose connection on the alternator or a weak alternator as well.

Any tips on getting the bucket out of the circular hole? Seems like turning it works well sometimes, and other times getting it out takes longer that I'd like.

Its a very tight fit. There is no delicate way to do it.

I tested it at the fuse and it had voltage across the fuse. I ordered the upgraded new harness Thursday night. Will be here today
