as per my other thread
"I was told that my 320 CCA, 16lbs battery didn't have enough cranking power and was causing issues. Replaced with a 34lbs 650 CCA battery. Worked fine for a few days
Then I had issues with the car stalling after a long drive with some heat soak, and not re-starting. Clicks but no crank. Diagnosed with a bad starter, and they said it was probably killing my small battery. Installed new starter.
So car starts fine now, but I had a hard code for low fuel pressure and fuel pump when I brought it in for the starter job. I have a 3 month old Aeromotive 340 pump in the tank, with a new OEM fuel pressure regulator/filter. I'm really upset, and hope that by some miracle the fuel issues were caused by some sort of shorting issues in my starter.
I really don't want to replace the fuel pump if I don't have to. I'm hoping the code doesn't come back. Thankfully my fuel pump is under warranty, but this might be the last straw for me if I have to replace it"
