The fuel pump pulls power through isolated 8 guage wires directly from the battery back to the terminals on the relay in the back of the car.

The log did show an average of 175 deg of coolant temp. At that temperature if Im running a 180 tstat isn't it closed. The water temp had to be close to 10 degrees colder last week.

Rich,

Grounds and pump seem fine! Good job.

I'd love to hear what some of the more knowledgeable folks here think of the water temps. Yes - at 175 your thermostat would be closed. That is still a very COLD temp to be running - especially with forged pistons... they love some heat. And it just might explain the stumble... but I'm just guessing here now anyway.
