Was just driving and it started freaking out and died.Past couple days it felt under powered then this, so i checked the connectors going to the fuel pump but not sure where the fuse/relays are for the fuel pump and was thinking about directly connecting it to my battery to test the pump.If anyone can show me a picture that would help out a lot

The fuse and relays are in the box next to the battery. But yeah your fuel pump just went out.

Blew a 15a fuse and its rated for 7.5...That doesn't sound good, maybe it grounded out some how

Oh damn. Check that connector in the trunk.

There connected but they don't seem as secure as they should be.Previous owner rigged a lot of stuff and slowly getting around to fixing all the electrical

Car smells like its running really rich now too

Smells like its running rich because the rear gasket is probably shot. There are 2 the o-ring that goes from gas tank to drop in assembly and the other one on the top mounting plate. The only o-ring that works well is the oem one, the others dont fit well.

As for the connection, they have a shit ton of electrical grease in there, or are supposed to anyway. that helps seal the connection and keep it constistant.
