I assume it was running poorly at all before the pump replacement? If not, we need to check the pump operation when it warms up. It may be a faulty new pump.

Here is a guide that will help with that. Let's check the pressure when this is acting up and see what it does.

Also, is there any history with this? Did the vehicle sit for a long time before you put the pump in it? Or was it running fine, then it had the issue with the pump and now it is doing this?
