also the two step didn't work. At first I thought it was the button because the terminals on the back were very loose, so I took the wires off and manually held the wires together and nothing. Im going to remove it from the tune and see it if it was cutting the fuel pumps for some reason and try again tonight.

could the intank stop feeding the 044 like it was doing before I added the 044? Would a hotwire kit from racetronix work? or maybe I cam make my own using another relay and wire it like my 044. Already have a bunch of 10ga wire left over.

There's something else going on. Fuel pumps flow more at low pressure so as that 044 pulls more fuel the easier it will be for the in-tank pump to supply it.

So smokeshow was looking at some of my logs and notices that me battery voltage was really low. 12.1 at idle. It's a brand new optama yellow top so he suggested to get a new alternator. Get to the 24hr autozone. Their system is down and they now close at midnight. And its gonna be 200 for a new one with a lifetime warranty. Hope their system comes back up before they close.

Charlie's such a quitter!!
Did you try swapping your alternator onto Andy's to see if yours would work?
