Need some advice on power break booster pump noise

Oh, we don't know that yet do we? Well when it is, you shouldn't hear it over the sound of the engine.

Now that's a shot right? The fix is getting done now by reflashing the ecm unit at Roush, adding a relay somewhere to the wiring harness and then do a re-install, should work according to all the boffins at Roush. I am hoping all will be done this month so Lance Stander from Hillbank will put some additional miles on the car before I take possession again. Currently I plan on being in California the middle of November and if all is well, will be in Phoenix for Thanksgiving and then return to China by end of November.

I have this set-up on my car. It is normal to answer your question. Nothing is wrong. I don't even notice it anymore.

STLMark, thanks for shareing, it just seemed noisy to me and after all the crap I've been thru with the car I am supersensitive and want to make sure everything is ok before I take it home. Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man

Shot? Whatever do you mean? It was just an observation.

In all seriousness, I truly hope they get the goblins out of it before then. Is Lance an independent observer of sorts giving you accurate feedback of what is going on?

Hi, Car Nut, Lance Stander is the owner of Hillbank Motors and is the person I purchased the roller from, he has agreed to store my Cobra in his showroom until I can get back to California to pick it up when all the fixes are in place. The transmission issues have been resolved and all that is required now is to get the ecm reflashed and the relay installed and the high idle will be minimized and the grabbing effect eliminated. Thus the car should be as it was supposed to be when I took delivery from the installer. Lance will drive the car and then let me know if everything is ok. I trust him completely.

See you during Thanksgiving.
