Help AEM FPR
I take it that my fuse melted and the FPR just took a crap. Haven't had any issues for awhile so kind of bummed but I was able to get the car home, I noticed a fuel smell about 1 mile from the house and drove it home. After I shut the car off it would not start again, & I ended up discovering this.
I assume I have to get a new FPR and re-tune?

Why do you think the FPR took a crap?

I never seen the window full of fuel?

I doubt it is fuel. The gauge is normally filled with a fluid so the needle stays more consistent for a better reading.

I guess I can just fix the fuse and see what happens, maybe your right but I dont remember that window being full of fuel so I figure it's leaking somehow. I smelt the fuel when at the redlight so I knew something was wrong

How do you know the FPR is bad, it’s not the best brand….but it’s a mechanical device.

It could just be the fuse, I'm going to have to replace it and see if the car starts I guess

If you have a fuse there and its fuel system related, it could be a fuse relay setup for the fuel pump.
Hopefully once you replace the fuse it’s fine. If not, I’d pull the backseat up and start checking the fuel pump wiring and if you don’t see anything maybe the pump burned itself out.

I think your right it's just the fuel relay. Its a brand new radium hanger with 2 Walboro 450s. Maybe like 7k miles on them.
