Straight from Julio actual....three screws and the two nozzles and two electrical quick connects come off swap the new section button it up/purge the air from the lines and your gtg. The motor itself will “last forever” that section is what goes bad and gets rebuilt. [/QUOTE]
Thanks. That's even more work than just replacing the whole pump. Lol

Yes...kinda....it was brief and maybe I didn’t clarify myself properly but.........he said the green light won’t always come on during test even on the single nozzle apparently, he told me how to temporarily turn my duel into a single if I wanted to test that as well, I didn’t have near the time I wanted being we both had to make it brief. So I’d probably just call him in your situation since I didn’t get long to dive deeper into all this. Sorry man

How so? I’m not gonna have to remove anything to reach those three screws and two nozzles, fender stays on...quick swap, Julio said 10-15 min max....how long will it take to do the pump on yours? Pulling the fender off and everything underneath? I’m curious? I did the install myself....took me about 40 hours continuous....long story lol but I know I can reach that bottoms part without removing anything just lift the car a little bit

Ok if that’s the case I’ll just swap the entire thing, first pump swap so definitely gonna go slow....and I may not have explained myself that well to Julio either

I'll have to call Julio next week. I drove it this morning and it was 60ish degrees out and the meth worked great, on the way home it was 80ish degrees out and it wouldn't kick in
Seems like when it's cool out there isn't any issues with the system. Weird.

I have a backup pump in garage if you need to try that.

I just got home from Tampa....started the car to let it get up to temp, hit the test button and I’ll be damned if it didn’t go green on the test....
I got a new pump on hand so I’m gonna swap it, but I feel like I’ve never seen it go green on a test, maybe I’ve just looked away after I saw red in the past and the instructions say it won’t go green with a dual kit but I stayed locked on the light hit the test, saw red saw green standard engine stubble I’ve always seen....idk..🤔

I did rule out the cooler weather thoughts of it working without issues. I got on the freeway this morning and it was 58° out, made a pull merging on and it ran great no issues. I then went to make another pull after I slowed back down and the meth wouldn't spray so it working fine in cool weather and not warm weather theory is out the window

Also while driving by the meth light and overall performance of the car. It's a very noticeable difference when the meth kicks in vs not kicking in.

So the red light does or doesn't come on when the system isn't working? Just curious.

PROBLEM FIXED!!
Patriot Six called Julio today and one of the recommendations from him was the ground connection under the dash so after work today I went under the dash and took a look. The ground wire looked terrible and the connection they put on the end of it was way too big for the bolt that it was attached to. I redid the end of the wire and then mounted it under the ignition switch side of the dash. Problem solved. While idling the test button lit up green every time I pressed it without any issues or hesitations. I then went out and drove it without any issues with the meth activating under boost countless times. Thanks for all the help everyone!

Thanks for the update! Looks like I'm going to have to check my wiring.. I get the stumbling idle with the button pressed every time, but there's about a 2-3 second delay and the green light never comes on.

Glad this was sorted out OP! Sorry I couldn’t be more of assistance man, this does make me glad I did all the wiring myself! Doesn’t hurt to have an electrical engineer background either that’s for sure....while I’ve been out of that field for a good ten years now....making sure your grounds are spot on will never leave me...and is always extremely important! 🇺🇸
