rapture Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 hey guys please someone help me out with this ....so after my mechanic and i completed the tgv deletes a bunch of codes popped for the censors related to the tgv's.. well my awesome tuner Andy at R/T tuning was cool enough to just take out the problem codes related to the tgv's and i thought everythin was good......but then my car started acting crazy stalling out and going limp mode on me ?then this code pops ???? i start my car and every things fine for a time then boom it keeps doing it? where is the primary fuel pump circuit even located? i'm thinking maybe the relay under the hood fuse area?

bmx045 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 AVO have been known to fail premturely, for their rediculous price nonetheless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapture Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 but is that what that means? i've done some research but all i can find says it might be a relay or another thing.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rao Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 If you could re-phrase the question to somehow include oil, a theoretical discussion of immaterial consequence or the superiority of Subarus over all other cars, you might get a little more action The fuel pump controller is in the rear of the car. There is no part of the Primary circuit that is located under the hood.

bmx045 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) I have a solution, don't drive the car, just look at it. Then walk back into your house. Meanwhile back at the brainstorming ranch.. was your car retuned after the tgv deletes? Have you logged anything at all? Things need to be changed when you don't have TGV doors to open/close when the ECU wants them to... Edited April 27, 2011 by bmx045 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapture Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 yes ,like i said in my first post. my tuner already edited my tune and removed all problem codes relating to the tgv deletes(which were diff. and related to open tgvs) this code popped like a day after??? hey rao in the rear of the car? not in the actual pump housing? was wondering if i'm gonna have to pull the pump again for this? all i could find online so far says something about a possible bad relay or another thing?

rao Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 This isn't the "Connect the pink wire together" sort of thing. For some reason the ECU is seeing a problem in this circuit. You need to track down why this is happening. Here is the complete diagnostics procedure. There is not much to it.

rapture Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 so it looks like it was the fuel pump?!?!?!?!? we checked the power coming into the pump and when the car stalls out it's still getting power so i guess the fuel pump went after less than 3 months?!?!?!!? just installed this thing in jan /feb.... WTF? avo fuel pos !!! 440$ bucks for what?!?!? they better return this thing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
