Hey there I just installed a Bosch 044 pump and the car started first go but now it's hard 2 start its like its got a dead batt the car turns over 4 3sec and then goes tick tick I then changed the batt 2 a new 1 but still does the same my batt is in the boot. My mate reckons I should put a earth strap from my car body 2 the starter motor and earth the 044 pump in the boot because the pump draws 2 much current. I don't no wat do. some help!

What size cable did you use from the boot to the starter?
Do you have an engine-to-body earth strap? |

Unplug the new fuel pump and see if your engine will crank as expected. Then atleast you'll know if its something relating to the current draw of the 044 (but I doubt it).

20A should be sufficient. The one in there should have the rating on it.
