Is it a walboro? Those are notorious for failing rubber seals that cause a loss in pressure -- the good news is, it's usually an easy fix if you don't mind rooting around in raw fuel...

The low power numbers may or may not be reflective of impending fuel pump failure unless there is evidence that it was skewing way lean under load -- you know how it is with load holding dynos.

Once you get this sorted out, I'd just get a baseline on a dynojet which should give more easily interpretable values.

Well, either way -- good luck! Hope this gets fixed ASAP!
It was the stock pump. The assembly was modified and there were some parts still on there from the failed fuel pump install. It basically stopped any hopes of a warranty taking care of it. After the wifey cools off with this last round of fails, I'm going to try again. It may not be until September though.

Thanks for the support. I'll be fine. Just have to try to reinstall that RRP some other time. Anderson Nissan got back and they are getting an estimate on the repair from a local body shop. I finally got my old warranty checks from my other cars, so that covered the bill. Now back to packing my house.
