immediately, but I'll check again in a bit.
did you check? also, do you have obdeleven? can you check these values. i am wondering if my fuel cut issue is somehow pedal related. I know you can calibrate the TB, but im not aware of any pedal adjustments.

Got my fuel pump changed out finally, super simply install.
One odd thing tho, I pulled the wire connecting to the old fuel pump and turned on the engine to release the pressure.
The video i was watching said that eventually the engine would die, because you know... the fuel pump isnt pumping fuel....

well mine didnt die aha, I unplugged the fuel pump started her up and she went for a good ten minutes acting like everything was ok and normal.
I reved it a bit near the end to see if it would kill it, it did not, but in the end I just turned the key off and proceeded with a bunch of rags in case fuel spray.

Whats weirder and slightly more concerning is that it also didnt cause any engine codes to be thrown out.

That/s bc your high pressure pump is driven off the engine and supplies the injectors. Probably somewhere near 2000 psi

Weird, mine died within 10-15 seconds.
