Hey guys I'm just giving you the heads up on my situation. I got my car back yesterday with esmerils fuel pump installed and the oil leak was fixed. The car was running fine for about 2 hours and then all of the sudden it felt like the car wasn't getting any gas. I was pressing on the gas pedal but the rpm still kept going down until finally it just stalled out and I was unable to start it... Im thinking it may be the fuel pump since that was just installed but any other ideas on what this could be??

Does anyone know of any really good aftermarket radiators and fan shrouds that I could get to help cool the car? Or anything else I could get to help cooling efficiency?

did they clean the fuel screen that is attached to the fuel pump?
if you have a bad base map, contact lucykat, he might have a better base map..because he has the same injectors settings as you do, and the same turbo set up. you might be able to use his base map so you can drive it to the tuner..

The X is silent
I live in Seattle now, but I'm from that area. There is a guy in East Liverpool, Ohio (about an hour away) who rebuilds and tunes rotaries... did my FC (and did a bang-up job). He has a Facebook page (tri-state rotary)
