Fuel pump (circuit) problem

When I start the motor it kicks in the pump, pressures up and starts every time. But after a while at idle it will start to cycle power to the pump.... then finally no power to the pump at all and dies. Pump works fine hooked straight to battery.

So I have some kind of electrical issue. I cleaned the contacts on the fuse and relay... even swapped them with the fan's, no help. Now I'm thinking there is some kind of oil pressure switch inline with the fuel pump but I can't follow the wiring diagrams very well. Has anyone worked on this circuit?

PS. I replaced the fuel pump with a Premium 5211007 (autozone) and it works fine on straight battery power. It fits better than the Bosch too because it's fatter and comes with hard rubber surround. I changed the line from the filter to the pump to 3/8 too.

Oops! never mind... it is crapping out even with the fuel pump directly connected to a battery. When the pressure starts dropping I can pinch the output hose of the pump... then it'll get a burst of fuel and fill back up again. It's acting like it's not getting fuel to the pump... or maybe not enough fuel and getting too hot? I'll go run it into a gas can until the tank is empty to see if it has good constant flow.

Pumped a whole tank out no problems... cool as a cucumber. Next I hooked up the regulator to see if I could get a tank through it... nothing coming out of the regulator at all!! so I think I was overheating my pump is all. I don't think I'll find one that mounts like this one, so I'll first try taking it apart :) haha

Found it on pg 53 in the 2009 manual

Fuel pressure adjustment Never make unnecessary adjustments. The factory recommended settings are correct for most applications. The recommend fuel pressure is 3.5kgf/m2 (49.8 psi). It’s not necessary to adjust fuel pressure unless the fuel pressure really needs to be adjusted. To adjust the fuel pressure: 1. Loose the lock-nut with a 14mm spanner as the following picture. 2. Turn the adjustment-bolt clockwise with a inner hexagon spanner to increase the fuel pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease the fuel pressure. 3. Keeping one eye on the fuel pressure indicator while turn the adjustment-bolt, when the indicator shows about 3.5kgf/m2 (49.8 psi), stop turning, and tighten the lock-nut.

Until it shows "about 49.8psi" haha

I got it as close to 49.8 as I could : )

It still doesn't run perfect yet though. It sputters sometimes at full throttle and feels like it loads up at crawling throttle. It is new to me and I had to start with a complete overhaul, so I don't know how many other problems I need to deal with... but it feels like some sensors are AFU. The motor was smoking like a chimney when I got it, and by the looks of the motor internals they ran it like that a loooong time. I'm guessing the O2 sensors are trash? I wish I could hook up something to read the computer. There must be a way, I'll study that today.

I run 35 PSI on my regulator, Hook a light across your fuel pump to monitor the voltage,

also, on the computer pin out. X1-70 - MIL - Mal-function Indicating Lamp Output could be hooked up to show if you actually have a malfunction. If you want to do that, just remember that pin X1-70 is a sink to ground, that means that 12 volts is supplied to a light and the light is grounded via X1-70 if there is a mal-function.

      American Landmaster TW450 Won't Start!!
      By malenurse13
      We just bought a used 2017 American Landmaster TW450. No hour meter that I can find, so not sure exactly how much it has been used. 
      The first 2 days we had it, the starter was a little sketchy, but it started after 2-3 tries. Sometimes when turning the key, we would hear a loud metal "clink" sound. Like the starter made contact, but didn't have enough power to turn. 
      THIS MORNING... Turning the key, we hear a single click sound. That's it. Even with a new battery, the starter is still doing the same thing. Both batteries (old and new) were reading 12.8 volts on volt meter. So I'm wondering what else could be going on? Any ideas on what to look for would be greatly appreciated...
      Thank you!

      Bennche 700 EFI Bighorn New Fuel pump not working
      By Nathon S.
      I have a Bennche 700 EFI Bighorn. I’ve recently been unable to get it to start. After a little troubleshooting I realized my fuel pump was not pumping fuel. This weekend I emptied the gas and replaced it with new. I replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel injector. I also replaced the battery, spark plug and made sure all my fuses and relays were good. I have confirmed that the float on the fuel pump is not obstructed. The UTV is about 12 years old and has less than 100 hours on it. It has not run in over a year.  Not sure whats going on?!? After doing a little reading I'm leaning towards it being an issue with the ECU or perhaps a faulty wire in the wiring harness. Anyone have any ideas on where to start looking or what I could be dealing with? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

      2018 Hisun Sector Crew 1000 engine die after about 15 minutes run
      By Hugh
      My 2018 Hisun sector crew engine cut off after about 15 minutes run. There is no indicator of what is wrong, no error code just die and won't restart until it cool down. I notice that the fan is not running but the temp indicator is on low temp, no overheat indicator. I checked the radiator fluid, it is cool to touch.
      Cooling fans are working, I can hear it running once awhile if I can get the engine warm up enough.  Thank you for all the help.
