    I was wondering about the F1 priming time on my 360 - I've seen it mentioned on the forum that when it takes longer to prime it's an indication that it (or the relay) may be ready to fail. They say it may take longer if it's hasn't been driven in a while, but how long is 'a while', and what exactly is 'a bit longer'?

    Assuming you haven't driven your 360 for 2 or 3 days, how long should it prime for? And once you've driven it around, stopped and had lunch, then jumped back in, how long would you expect it to prime for?

    I'm tempted to be a bit pre-emptive on fixing this, but don't want to fix something if it isn't broken. :)

    About 6-8 seconds

    then only 2-4 seconds after lunch

    6-8 seconds sounds right. I replaced my relay after the first time the pump stayed on. Inexpensive and easy to do.

    Thanks for the feedback - mine is taking closer to 12-13 seconds, so I decided to order up a replacement pump and relay. Better to be safe than sorry and it looks trivial to swap plus is pretty cheap so seems like a no brainer.

    The numbers are a great help - I wasn't sure what was typical, but knowing these now I seem to be well outside of that.
