91 - Sluggish at WOT - Then sideways when sec pump kicks in - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hey Y'all,

I had alternator issues, the car made it back home 8hrs with some tricky driving to keep RPMs up, worst drive of my life, no AC in the rain and traffic, LOL. Installed new alternator in 1 hour, at night and that is good now!

Problem at hand... Been having issues when the car is hot, sometimes it will load up and die, then when i floor it, there is no power, then BOOM, car goes sideways. My secondaries are wired open with the supporting Haibeck tune, and i've got 106,000 miles on The Juan.

So i'm thinking that i might have a clogged fuel filter, and when the second pump comes online, the fuel demand is satisfied and i get a shot of nitrous feel when full power comes online. Seriously, the car will try to swap ends if the AC is off; before that, it won't get out of its own way...

I've also purchased two new fuel pumps, and when the hurricane passes, i've got a fuel filter on hand. Thinking that the filter might be clogged enough to where the single pump isn't enough.

What do y'all think?
