Make sure to check your fuses... If the pump was not installed correctly you may have blown a fuse and the "nose dive" is because the cm30 pump is not even on


I believe eurocharged pump is the Johnson Cm30

Is it immediate? Or after a few seconds going WOT?

I have no way on checking the IAT's
car nose dives instantly, feels like it wants to take off, but something is holding it back...check engine light is also on.
where is the fuse for the CM30?
thanks

Scan it. If it's instant then I doubt it's your pump.

yesterday the check engine light suddenly went away ...very weird.....friend came over and scanned the car, this is what he pulled out...any ideas guys? I have a feeling it may have something to do with the fack that the last tank i let the car go all the way down to reserve and then some....maybe some sediment at the bottom of the tank got picked up? anyway thankfully it runs ok now....

That's not likely since the fuel pump is ALWAYS sucking fuel from the bottom of the tank so going low of fuel doesn't make a difference.

Also, those pics really don't tell me much...I need to know the codes stored as shardul stated.

We're fairly new using the Star, can you tell me where we have to go to see the stored codes? is there a step by step somewhere?
