2005 Mustang Fuel system specialist in Wales anywhere?
Discussion
I have a 2005 Mustang V8 with a Vortech supercharger which has had very little use.
It has a Vortech tune, from a Diablo Predator which also allows custom twiddling though I would never dare do anything so rash.
It recently developed a "Check fuel cap" fault which a new cap failed to cure.
I just had it fully serviced so, from that point of view, it should be A1 and the fuel pressure regulator was replaced.
However, t has developed a repetitive "fuel delivery error" and it struggles to redline, You can feel it holding back.
At one point, it misfired like a b**** when I started it up, after a long run on a hot day but that cleared eventually and since it had new HTO plugs, i doubt that is the issue.
It has thrown various codes including "Lean on both banks" and "fuel pressure regulator error" and even a P1000 OBD error.
Downloading the tune again (suggested by someone), failed to solve anything.
It has had a couple of 99 octane tank refills and two bottles of Redex,in case the fuel had gone off.
So I am looking for a specialist in fuelling to sort it out, by which I mean someone who knows what they are doing as opposed to guessing, like I would..
It is possible that it may be a fuel pump issue (wails a bit on startup) but I don't want to entrust it to a bluffer or muck round with it, myself as I don't have money to throw at it while someone scratches their head.

Could be possibly an airleak or similar or an issue with fuel pressure at rail. Do you have a way of requested vs actual fuel pressure on the kit you have?
I don't think it has that facility and I have no idea how to test the fuel pump.Though the car is 11 years old, it rarely went in the rain so the underbonnet is very clean and there are no signs of any perishing pipes, it all still looks new but obviously it gets bloody hot under there.
I would probably have a fiddle if it was standard but lean running superchargers are not a happy combination.
