Thank you! I can totally hear the pump shutting off at like 1.5 - 2mins. I'm hopeful that I can get this to reset soon.

So, as an update, I purchased the car with 38k miles on it in November. Aside from a dual row IMS install, I know little about the history other than I am the third owner.

I decided to take the car to a shop here in town to have them give it a once over. The shop called and said the car has 'a bunch of codes showing'. I checked for codes (with my Foxwell) before dropping it off. It showed 0 codes stored or active. When I asked them about that they said 'Our ODB2 readers do stuff your 100.00 reader can't...'

I don't doubt that, but Im curious to learn more about what codes the tech was seeing. I spoke with the front desk guy at 5pm so I didn't get a ton of info. It's possible that the tech was looking at voltages/specs and not 'codes'. We will see. They also called me out on my Soul Performance cut outs. ��
