He is a good kid...but he also has a bit of an addiction to the video games and phone. ALL of his friends do. I guess most of us do too. In fact, he taught me how to take and edit videos. We use the high speed gaming computer I bought him last year for his birthday because it processes them super fast.
I ended up making a way too long video about replacing the fuel pump on the car after this incident.
Turns out Aeromotive no longer makes the exact pump. The new ones are all E85 compatible so the wiring changed. Also, (while it didn't matter for my application) the intake port on the replacement pump I got was different than the original. I had to resort to making custom solder joints to the bulkhead connector in the fuel tank pump module. I also had in the past kept the original Painless wiring LS harness fuel pump relay in the dash and was using the output signal to trigger the high amp 10 gauge wiring relay at the battery in the rear (this was added when I last replaced the pump) - this time I removed the relay from in the dash and have the one on the battery in the rear just triggering on the standard computer output because keeping TWO relays in place of one was not ideal.
He bugged me for several days after it broke..."Hey dad...will be running by Friday (this was last Friday) - which was all depending on how quickly parts came) - He had to work last Thursday night so I did the swap on my own and filmed it so we could make a video. He was thrilled to be able to rumble it to school on Friday.
Total repair was $130 and a few misc wiring bits and pieces...
