Power Problem.

dkm2855 · 02-01-2008, 11:40 PM

I just bought my 2000 ram a few months ago. Seemed to be short on power and economy(15mpg). I added Edge w\additude with good gains but still low when compared to my buddys 99 w/edge. After installing Edge though I noticed real low fuel pressure on guage. Replaced lift pump and brought pressure back up. But I do not know how long lift pump was bad. After that, unhappy w\Edge I put on Banks Quick turbo, HighRam and 125h OTTOMind. Power still seems low. My thought is maybe a failing VP-44 due to extended fuel pressure loss, but comp is not throwing any codes pointing to bad VP-44.

Any thoughts would be welcome but main question is can Injector pump be failing without throwing error codes?

it will go out time to time with no codes. Does sound like a vp issue though
