Vortech fuel delivery problem
I am having a problem with my Vortech setup. At about 50% throttle I see the AF ratio drop to around 12.0 like it normally has done. But if I open the throttle up any more, the mixture continues to get leaner. At 100% WOT, the AF guage is reading a mixture of about 14.5 - 15. It is completely relative to throttle position and has nothing to do with RPMs.
It seems what is happening is that beyond 50% throttle, the fuel system doesn't deliver any more fuel to the engine than at the 50% point.
All of this has come after I got in an accident where I rear-ended someone. There was no damage to the engine bay, just the right front corner of the car.
*Edit*
The problem seems to be with either the Vortech provided FMU, fuel pump, or something on the fuel rail. A few moments ago I just completely took apart the FMU and inspected it for any problems. I put it back together and the car is still acting up.
My next question is this. What are the chances of the fuel pump suddenly lowering its output below spec? I have noticed that I no longer hear the fuel pump working as loud as I normally did when everything was running fine.
