Can you disconnect the fuel line from the pump to the turbine, put the line in a ground tank and run the pump in test functions
my guess is something in the fuel has tightened the gears, start at the 0.5 and go to 4v, leave it for 10secs, go down to 0.2v ( where it should still pump), back up to 4v. Do that a couple of times and try it again

Hey Dave, well this problem came after 16 hours of problem free flight of my jetcat p140, last week this error started to come when I started my turbine and took it to full thorttle, the gsu showed pump parameters stored suddenly the engine flamed out showing "pumperr" i opened the filters in uat and the filter going to turbine from pump and cleaned it after the problem seemed to be solved, i did two flights after that with no issues. Today my first flight was ok, in the second flight the turbine flamed out after starting on full throttle with the same error. Now i have no clue what seem to be the issue.

OK. So check the wire and connections between pump and ECU. Also the throttle cable between ECU and Rx

Is the cable between ECU and pump the one with very fine wires mixed in with bigger wire? If so order the new type with large wires throughout

OK.

Try a complete log reset to clear ECU, Front Board and Pump Board.

With power off hold the select menu button down, switch on Rx and wait. Ignore Learn RC, Ignore calibrate Temp and finally release when it says reset. follow prompts, do a learn RC and try it
