Installed the GT500 fuel pumps last night. I went out tonight to turn the key on and let the pumps kick on to check for leaks. After a couple of seconds the message popped up on the dash "DTE FLI DATA ERR". Is this simply because the car isnt tuned for these pumps? I'm assuming so, but wanted to see if anyone else has ran across this before. Thanks

Did you have a tough time getting the pumps into the tank?

Not really Nasty. I'm a Chrysler tech and have done fuel pumps before. Granted these are a tighter fit than stock, I took my time and manuevered them in. Zip, I searched earlier and read that too.

I'm not saying you're not a bad mechanic but we've both seen bad techs before !! LOL

The error code is for the fuel level sender. I don't believe there should be an issue with it without a tune. It sounds like some how the sender was is damaged. Possibly in shipping or during the install. Did you have any problems with the little rubber feet coming off?

 

[stanglifemike]

The rubber feet were'nt even on it when I opened the box. I put them on before installing it though...

No, I didnt take it that way. Just letting you know what I do for a living so you would have some insight on my technical ability

I can't help with the codes, but I bet you've done a few plenum pan replacements on the Magnum engines... Hughes engines makes a nice kit for them.

Or 3.8 manifold gaskets/pans!!!

Well Ford Racing Tech, local Ford dealers, and Brenspeed all say they have no idea what this code is.....I have read that after a couple of fill ups that it should relearn it and straighten up. We'll see

I doubt it will clear up. I have been having that message pop up intermitantly for the past year and a half since my pumps were installed by a ASE Ford Tech. Usually when it pops up the fuel gauge goes to "E" and it says 0 miles till empty. I think it is a bad sending unit but I never cared since my car doesn't go below half a tank.

 

[stanglifemike]

How often does it pop up on yours and for how long does it stay on? I may get them to ship me out another pump...

I've had this same issue since I put the pumps in as part of the Whipple kit 2 1/2 years ago. My fuel gauge hasn't worked since. I was also told it would probably clear up-it never did. I just keep track of my mileage, but it would be nice to have the gauge work again...hope you can find out more than I did....

Maybe 1 or 2 times a month and usually no longer than a minute
