Was just driving and it started freaking out and died.Past couple days it felt under powered then this, so i checked the connectors going to the fuel pump but not sure where the fuse/relays are for the fuel pump and was thinking about directly connecting it to my battery to test the pump.If anyone can show me a picture that would help out a lot

The fuse and relays are in the box next to the battery. But yeah your fuel pump just went out.

Blew a 15a fuse and its rated for 7.5...That doesn't sound good, maybe it grounded out some how

Smells like its running rich because the rear gasket is probably shot. There are 2 the o-ring that goes from gas tank to drop in assembly and the other one on the top mounting plate. The only o-ring that works well is the oem one, the others dont fit well.

As for the connection, they have a shit ton of electrical grease in there, or are supposed to anyway. that helps seal the connection and keep it constistant.
