The Pierburg should work fine. All the old FM 1 kits came with them.

Maybe your over doing it and getting too big of a pump and its getting overheated due to the large amount of recirculation require when you aren't at WOT. Just a though and I haven't been following your fuel pump stories. Maybe a RPM/throttle based voltage limiter would help with this issue. I normally don't buy from ebay when I can buy it at the same price from a "real" store. That's just a habit of mine. I know lots of people (including me) that bought walbro 255 from here: http://www.autoperformanceengineering.com/html/fpapps.html If the ebay ad picture is of the actual item, its not the "correct" pump as it appears to require you to splice into the miata wiring. The correct one has the miata style connector. Also, I cannot hear my walbro anytime beside when I first turn on the key and even then it isn't loud.

ARG. While my gap was wrong (0.045) which was causing some of my misfire troubles, the real cuplrit is the fuel pump dying off.. it'll go to 60psi at WOT (15psi boost) but then quickly falls on it's face, dropping like a rock and the car starts stumbling, O2 reading leaner than 13.0:1. Since fuel pumps apparently are consumables on my car, any reason I should avoid the $99 Walbro 255lph ones on eBay? I'm not swallowing another $242 for a new Pierburg since the life expectancy of a pump seems to be a year or two.. but at $100 I can almost tolerate the frequency... Thoughts, anyone?? The Pierburg wasn't silent, and you could hear it at idle.. if the Walbro is the same noise level, I think I could tolerate it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/WALBRO-255-LPH-FUEL-PUMP-Mazda-MX5-Miata-MX-5 -255lph_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33555QQihZ002QQitemZ120238884274QQrdZ1QQs spagenameZWDVW Wallyman This e-mail and any attachments are confidential.
