S5 Turbo Fuel Issues

I would like to agree, but unless the break is on the injectors then everything else works. All relays have correct voltages. If there was a broken wire, one wouldn't. I haven't gone all crazy and rang out each wire in the circuit. But if it ran before changing the pump, then the only common would be the pump. Not the wiring. This doesn't mean that old wiring couldn't be the culprit. This car is so close to factory I wouldn't think this. It spent most of its life in a garage with some climate control.

Almost nothing is dry rotted or broken. Even the foam around the radiator was is reasonable shape. It didn't crumble in my fingers. To give you an idea. The foam inside the door cards was in good shape. Only in bad thing on the car is the speakers. They rotted out. Which for its age isn't a big deal.

I am leaning bad ground somewhere. When I started cleaning a few it would at least try to start for a second, better than acting like its flooded out.

Tomorrow I will change the fuel filter and check voltages t the injectors. Once I check those that should tell me what's wrong.
