Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
When the pump shuts down during deceleration, how do you determine the point of shut down? Does deceleration mean a 60-t0-40 MPH slow down, and then an attempt to return to 60 MPH, or does deceleration mean rolling to a stop? If the pump subsequently runs only while cranking the engine, how long is required to return to "normal" operation?

5.0 bar operating pressure is not unusually low for a single pump system.
The switch to two pumps brought an increase to ~ 6.3 bar.
