What have you done to your car today?

Long story cut short, Dave used my fuel pump to get his RA back from cert. Put my fuel pump back in my car and my car wouldn\'t start. Three hours of diagnosing what looked to be a wiring fault or relay, only for the almost obvious to be the cause:

This plug clicks into the top of the fuel pump cradle. The burnt out pin is the 12 volt wire.

What we think caused this to short was a break in the wire.

Not the smartest idea, but lighter to shrink the heat shrink!

A huge thanks to DacerX (Dave) for helping diagnose and fix the thing. rslegy (Damo) for suppling the new plug and Reuben for being on the phone late at night talking us through the wiring.

In the four years of owning my Subaru, this is the single most serious issue I\'ve had.

I suspect this issue has been present since the original fuel pump was replaced due to failing a year before I bought the car.

Sweet 2 k cup looks awesome ;D

Was looking into it myself but think I would get sick of not being able to modify anything.

I just have to try to make s*** faster hahaha

What car did you get?

Yeah i think it\'s good because people can\'t just throw money at a problem. We got a b16a da6, bloody rough paintwork atm but we are just going to bog it and vinyl wrap it lol

That plug is a common issue. A better fix is to bypass or replace the plug. And the best option is to use the old power wire as the signal to a new relay and run a new, beefier power wire to the pump via the new relay.

The plug was replaced with one off a BC. This new relay thing sounds like a job for you Koom :D Would never of thought to do that.

Haha at my current rate of achievement, I can do it for you as long as you don\'t mind your car being off the road for 9 months......

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
