injection pump is all done took about 3 hrs to complete thanks for the help

well a little late on here. but was about to work on a 2002 24v. pretty much same deal seamed just to fall on its face and wouldnt have enough speed to shift. was about to get a rebuild pump and called the people to order. they guy asked whats it doing he was informed and he said they have been having a lot of problems lately. people replace the pump thinking its the problem. but he said if its the pump turning it off wouldnt fix the problem, but it seams like a problem with the stock fuel filter. something about it causes too much pressure and wont let the ip operate right. the cure is to bypass the stock one with a aftermarket. anyone heard of this?

I have to say that is false. Why after all these years are ppl suddenly having problems. They arent. It's not necessarily the internal injection pump a lot of times the Electronic fuel control box ontop of the VP is what fails that is why when you shut it off it runs good. i just got done replacing the vp and its not that big of job and that was definately the fix. Unless you have a lot of upgrades i wouldnt worry about your fuel filter.
