Ive given up on trying to sort out my surging/stutterring problem on the ae92 - Im pretty sure its fuel related and it only does it intermitantly and only under full gas.


Is anyone out there good at diagnosing problems (possibly ecu related) for coin... or a box ?

NAH

just fuel surge ie when fuel goes to one side of the tank and the pump starts to pump air instead of fuel

not much to fix + it looks cool to

surge tank $150
300hp bosch pump $200
plus install who knows

Problem with that answer is that the fuel tanks have baffles in them so the pump is always supplied with fuel.

????????????

HA WOTS THE PROB WITH THIS???????????

the baffels are there to stop surge and keep the pump flowing the gtz have a " problem " with this and below 1/2 tank it starts to starve under hard eccl and right hand cnrs

the only way i can see how u can fix this is surge tank with a external pump
