We had a great time in Colorado and Utah at RRC 2024--the 20th iteration. The car ran well (I still need to work on the tune, still a bit rich and occasional hesitations). And despite my awesome 125 hp, it was hard to keep up with some of the big sixes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The only time my car did not run well--or at all--was the last morning. We drove from the hotel to the storage yard to load on the trailer. Once I had the truck and trailer out and ready, I tried to start the 914 but the fuel pump was silent. I waited and tried again, but nothing. I checked the pump fuse, and the fuses and connectors on the Megasquirt board--still nothing.
A little muscle got the car close, and then I winched it onto the trailer. VERY happy I installed the winch. Attached thumbnail(s)

All the way home I wondered how I would get the car up my driveway and then up the turn into my garage. But the gremlin was gone, the fuel pump ran, and the car started.
But now I have to worry about why the pump was dead earlier. Attached thumbnail(s)

Is your pump still getting power from the relay board? It may be that the contacts aren't solid. The same thing happened to me and drove me crazy. In the end, all I needed was a new relay, and to slightly expand the prongs so they fit more snugly in the socket.

Follow the path and eliminate any possible source of the interruption. Probably 1/2 century of dirt in there somewhere.
Looks like a great outing with the crew and a great turnout with a bunch of teeners |

Sorry about the fuel pump failure. Boy, if you are going to break down, your could not have timed it any better. Right onto the beautiful trailer with the perfect winch setup. I am sure you will sort the issue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

To be honest, I don't remember if I replaced any of the relays with new ones (and presumably the fuel pump relay first). I have to dive back into my receipts.
