Just wondering something weird going on with car.
I got my car dyno tuned about a month ago, and it wasn't till after the tune that I noticed that there was some sort or air suction/escaping noise coming from the rear-right tyre area (no not tyre), also about the same time my car was harder to start after I have released the fuel cap to fill up.I was guessing that the pump was on its last legs and that revving the tits off on the dyno mave have started to make it fail.
Anyway on Tuesday I got my mechanic to install a new genuine pump, and when starting it, it was running pretty rich. I have currently stalled it 4 times when idleing (auto btw), when you accelerate normally from stop it seems to lose all power before catching with revs dropping very low, and it also idles pretty rough.
The mechanic and me where thinking that the car might have been dynoed with the bad pump and tuned to suit the bad pump. Does anyone know if that is plausible?
I'm trying to get some dyno time soonest but i'll see how I go.
