its probably related to why your car isnt making the power its supposed too, which i dont think has anything to do with the fuel pump.

sorry to hear that man. what makes you think its the fuel pump that keeps you from revving it past 3500?

this is another reason i dislike swaps, its a gamble.

i think you really just need to do a check on everything. take it completely apart and reassemble it while checking every spec of the motor.
