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.

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Coleman UT400 won't rev. Idles fine
      By Will Sutton
      I've got a 2023 UT400 (bought from tractor supply) and I've been beating my head against a wall with it.
      It will start and idle perfectly. The second I touch the throttle it sputters and dies.
      I've checked that the fuel pump is working  (it is).
      I've replaced the injector, throttle position sensor, O2 sensor, and intake air sensor. All with no change.
       
      I've just taken a look a the schematic, and there is a crank position sensor as well.

      Could this be the source of my troubles? If so, where is this thing located? I can't seem to find it on any drawings from the parts suppliers.

      Hisun E1 Power Plug Replacement
      By John M in Louisiana
      Quick question about replacing the plug.  One of the prongs pulled out, so I'm thinking it will be an easy fix to connect the old cord with a new plug but I'm unsure about the specs.  15amp 125v?  Is it more complicated than that?  I do plan to buy a plug that's water tight.
      Thanks in advance!

      Axis x550 02 sensor on right after buying the UTV.
      By TPlummer
      We recently purchased the Axis x550. Fueled it with 93 fuel and drove one time around the farm and the 02 fault error appeared. Any ideas?

      2022 Hisun Sector 550 eps. Power steering not working
      By A P
      Hi
      I have a 2022 hisun sector eps 550. 30amp fuse is blown for eps. Checked the motor and it’s fine. Opened up the controller and found a bad diode. Dealer wanted 500$ for the controller. Just posting this in case it helps someone. I couldn’t read numbers from the old one so just took a guess and replaced it with a 100v 3amp diode.
