    Default PLEASE HELP!!!

    Alright, my car just started acting up today, i was driving for a while and my warlboro 255 pump started humming extremely loud, then my car bogs down like its getting too much fuel or too less. My turbo starts to spool but it feels like it just looses all power when it spools, What do you think? Is it not getting enough or is it dumping too much, the pump is def working over time, and i can smell fuel inside the car. And when i start up the car and drive at first it dont do it, it only starts after about ten mins of driving. PLEASE HELP!! Its my daily so i need it back on track very soon.

    Had a car in the shop the other day with the same symptoms and the sock on the fuel pump had so much stuff on it (from a dirty tank) that the pump could not pump any fuel inside of it. We cleaned the tank and fixed the dirty sock and it was back to good again. Definately sounds like it is fuel related. Have you just installed the pump? Check to make sure it is sitting down in the tank properly. I have seen them installed where they were out of the fuel at a half tank of gas, and so the guy thinks he has plenty of fuel but the pump cant get any of it.

    ^ thanks man! But if my sock is dirty, wouldnt it do it all the time?? It seems like it only does it when it gets warmed up or something, I can drive for a long time then the humming just gets louder and louder then it starts loosing all power. My placement is good im almost on E now and its pumping fuel, oh yeah my pump is a Warlbro 255 so would that even have a sock??

    It should have a sock on it. If you pull the pump to check (easy 10min job) do yourself a favor and get a new O-ring from Nissan. It's like $12, otherwise you will smell gas every time you drive. The old O-ring will expand as soon as you pull the cover.

    If the sock is only partially clogged then it may take a while to act up. But what happens is the sock closes against the bottom of the pump and cavitates, especially when its tryin to pump extra fuel under boost.
