Reread. So okay sounds like filters were reversed?

Maybe damaged pump. Sure it is a real Bosch? Is that selector still bypassed?

Yeah I guess reversed, i had the water separator pre pump and it seemed to cause cavitation in the pump…

And the pump looks like a Bosch to me but I suppose I don’t know for sure. Came with the warranty fill out page

Yeah I have the selector bypassed currently, there’s a guy north of San Antonio that puts together bronco tank kits that I want to pickup and get rid of the selector for good

Did you actually watch fuel pressure fall as you got into throttle?

No I didn’t watch it, it felt like it but other times after running it for a short bit I opened the hood and watched the gauge drop in pressure down to 20 usually it would stay at 20 other times it would completely die

Long shot, might be unrelated issue that is the issue.

Anyway to check vitals while under load? Other guys know all about that stuff. Tools. Programs. Etc. Above my GS rating.

I think most guys use Forescan?

Make sure your ride is OBD2 compliant. 94.5 and E95 were simply ready.Apparently a chip like TS or Hydra makes the early compliant without a reflash.

I really am of no use trying to datalog and such. I did get my old Edge Insight to work on my 96 though!

Just note my Edge is old black and white model. Not a CS/2/whatever stuff. Works fine for my needs, but yours could vary far more than mine.

I just look at boost, EGT, HPOP, and oil temp when I care. Usually it is not even in my truck.

It’s normal to have the water separator pre pump and the finer filter post pump.

so what exactly did you change to make it run ‘normal’??

is this the kit you bought?

Yep that’s the kit, I moved the water separator to the post pump position and the other one to the pre pump position and it then ran excellently

Thats odd. The micron filtration level of thr filters can cause issues if you have too restricted of a pre pump filter on there. I would think the water seperstor wouldn't be a very low micron, usually like 100.

If it runs now then thats what matters. Just keep an eye on you separator for the first few weeks.
