Sweet heaven. Sounds great. Reminds me of my 05. Glad you got it ironed out.

Thanks !! I'll save you from the problem source. Until i'm psychologically ready for humiliation, and have a thick enough flame suit

Until then, so much thanks for you all !!

Everyone misses the trees for the forest at some point in a troubleshooting exercise. Humility is good for keeping one's character in check. I've been in electronic maintenance for a long time. About the time you think you are familiar with apiece of equipment or a system it puts you in check with something stupid you overlooked. It's all part of diagnosis. A good troubleshooter has no ego. Have a great week.

This.

I've been myself in maintenance in electronic domain and now project manager for a long time too. I know exactly what you saying and you're damn right !

Thanks for your support, you made me smile !

Seriously, one float was stuck in upper position, sending the cluster a false signal of half-full tank. The LAST thing I did check is fuel INSIDE the tank when I removed the pump in order to replace it. My track car is really stiff and squick much when I shaked it trying to hear some fuel sound but I never, never, never thought it can be empty. Shame on me, but this is the truth !

The only bell sound I had is that at my last lapping evening, I found my car had not consumed much fuel, but I didn't push that hard so....

Anyway, this is what it is.

An easy miss. Not like the tank has a sight gauge on the side of it as a backup check. Run-r-hard!

so end result... the car had no fuel?

the transfer pump was bad?

Car ran out of fuel (But cluster shows half-tank full), and like a dumb noob I spent too much time looking for every f***in parts to be defective, read almost 876876785 threads on 9878768786 forums, spent 500$ on towing and sparkplugs, clean TB and MAF, etc...etc...

EPIC Fail ever in my life. FML.

Good news is now I know every part of the fuel system, their function and their price.

^^^ But you conquered the problem. That's what matters. Efficiency is sometimes over rated! Lol!!!!!

Right !

Another good news is that I've been able to prepare and adjust the car on time for my Time Attack event that was yesterday. I finished 2nd in my class, after leading whole sessions and being beaten at the only last round.

This end well.
