WHY are you running a Walbro and 450s? Maybe give up ALL the info on your ride? Have you checked the main relay? Maybe even the ignition switch?

well im running them because it was boosted a few weeks ago im still gathering money for the turbo. and i hope the switch is not bad, would be quite hard to change seemigly the way its on the steering shaft lol but ill check the relay. how would i know the relay being bad? wouldnt it make the pump not work at all not just every blue moon?
