I had to hook up the aux fuel pump full time...
Now, when I engage the clutch from high rpm... the revs drop below 500. The first time, the car died... now it only stumblesas t dips to 400. Also, when I am at idle for a while, the car will idle very rough after about 45sec - 1min if i stop at a light.
I'm thinking of just getting a Walbro pump and removing the auxillary pump altogether...
Any ideas would be appreciated.

You may want to check your MAFS too, you might have damaged it. My car did the same thing when it was SC and it was because the MAFS. Just a idea..Originally posted by Chunger

It maybe a bit rich, try rasing your idle by adjusting that little black **** on top of the throttlr body, Delio had the same problem, and a higher idle fixed it.
My car would bog and then just flat out stall... and yes a few turns of the idle screw solved that jammie...

i'm not sure if you're auto but when i first got the sc i had that prob. i just bumped up the idle to about 650-700, no more probs. alot of ppl have asked the same q to me and i gave them the same solution.

Thanks everyone... I will try to bump up the idle until i find a better solution... probably the Walbro in tank pump.
I can see the damn gas gauge needle go down ... I gotta mellow out...

What you need is a fully adjustable rising rate FPR. The extra power of either the Vortech/Stillen T-Rex boost pump or the Walbro GSS342 will over power the factory FPR and result in the same problem, high idle fuel pressure. An adjustable rising rate FPR like the Vortech Super FMU will allow you to elimenate the factory FPR and set the base fuel presure where you want it. Their kinda pricey though. I just deal with the richness at idle, no biggie here for now.
Just turn the idle up and be happy.
