Well we have been chasing a very rough idle and stalling to the point when it started the car was undriveable, the car would not rev pass 3k and breaking up and popping and hard starting. This problem would would start randomly when the car is hot. So over a period of about 2 weeks we started replace parts in its order CAS,transistor,MAF,ECU and the coil was replace with a COP.

We thought the COP had fix the problem but it started the next day. So there was only two things left that it could be 1. A electrical problem or 2. The fuel pump.
No wait it could not be the pump because is a new pump that was install by a big and reputable speed shop in East Orlando and they have lots of experience with DSM and VR4's. So i decided to change the pump because is easier to do that to troubleshoot a electrical problem..

WTF: /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif look what i found.. I say no more..

It's like I have said to my friends so many times before,"Why pay someone to f*** your car up".

Look again Trunks.

I've used zip ties before to hold the fuel pump in place for a temporary fix. But I never attempted to have a zip tie hold an after market fuel pump in the factory sending unit female feed tube, or whatever its called.

Everyone with half a brain cuts the flared part off and uses a piece of high end in tank fuel hose with 2 worm clamps to hold it in place. And that's the easy way.

All the 044 pump users usually use AN fittings.

Wow not a good install. Have you contacted the shop? Make sure they are aware of the install.
