u can buy the pump itself that is in the VAC housing at autozonr for 70 bucks....u dont need the KIT because the pump is the only thing drawing power the rest in there is BS !

It overheated because the pump is bad and draws more amp , like sayd before !

I dont know the # , but take it appert ( not hard to do ) and take the actual pump with u to autizone !

We just did that on a costumers boat about 2 month ago !

Somebody brought up a good point to me and I wanted to ask you guys because it's a good possibility. When I took off the injectors to get sent out to get cleaned the positive terminal ring broke so I replaced it but I think I replaced it with a bit bigger ring terminal and it could have touched the pump body causing it to short. What do you guys think about that? It's a coincidence that that's the ring terminal I replaced then it shorts out

possible but if so there will be a massive witness mark... i keep meaning to ask you... does this wire come direct from that pole on the solonoid ? so it goes live when the sol engages ?

Yes it does, i comes directly from that solenoid to the positive on the fuel pump. Also when you look at where it goes on to the selonoid, it is attached in the same ring as another positive cable then they both are connected to the selonoid. So basically it is connected with another positive wire on the same ring, then they are both connected on the selonoid. You can see it from the picture.
