New fuel pump

[asphaltguy]

Hello Just put on a new fuel pump on a 2000 boxster.The car will only rev up to 2000 rpms .Is there a certain routine that i need to follow to get the thing to rev up .Thanks

No, I did this on my box afew months ago. You probably got the 2 snap on lines mixed up.

Did you replace the fuel pump because of this problem??

[asphaltguy]

I replaced the fuel pump because car wouldnt start.While trying to find what was wrong I did unplug computer and plug back in also unplugged mafs and replug.

Did you do the egas throttle adaptation? Turn the car on for 1 minute without touching the gas pedal, you will hear the egas actuate, after 1 minute turn off the car, and remove the key. The throttle is now readapted.

Hello Todd Do I start the car or just turn the igntion on.

Don't start it - just turn it to "on" - wait at lest 1 minute then turn it off and remove the key.

Now the throttle adaption is readapted.

Thanks Loren ,I did try that and still no luck .It wont rev ,anything else I could have screwed up .Ok I had a guy come by with the computer thing to hook up to the car he did something on the machine and it cleaned up and would rev .Then once I turned the car back off it lost what was done to it .any Ideas on that one .

Without providing a better, more accurate description it will be pretty hard to help you out. What exactly did the fellow do with the scan tool? Was it a PST2? What codes if any were present? Did you address CJ's suggestion and double check that the fuel pump was installed correctly? What lead you to surmise that it was the fuel pump that was bad to begin with?

Yes Todd I checked as CJ suggested.the mechanic that was working on the car put gass to the motor and it started .He then traced the relay s and they were fine .The car did turn over just fine but no fire .It does start now right away but thats about .I unplugged the battery for a half hour and then tried it again.Still the same .I wonder if the computer is screwed up .Can those be reprogrammed?The scan tool he had was about a 15,000. dollar tool that could get the car running right as long as I didnt turn the key off.Iam sorry I dont know what he actually did with the scan tool.Ill see if I can t get him here to look at this topic .Thanks everyone for trying to help,Its very appreciated.

The fuel pump is in the tank and I think it will require you to recalibrate the fuel level sender.
