Hey Pete,
Yup, you have a relay on the circuit board that you can check. Swap it with one from your head lights to check it. Also, FYI, the AAR and heater blower in the engine compartment all get their powere from the same circuit on the board so if one of those is shorting to the case you will not get any power and you will likely get blown FP fuses. If no blown fuses I would suspect the relay on the board. |

There is also a fuse on the relay board (in addition to the relay) that is required for the pump to run.

if you view them as front-to-back, the pump relay is the middle one. the rearmost is for the heater. the frontmost is for the ecu. I've also had problems with corrosion on the pump fuse. pop that thing out and clean the fuse and board.

Carbs, L-jet, or D-jet? They each run the fuel pump differently.
L-jet uses the "dual relay" hanging off the relay board to power the pump. D-jet uses one of the round relays on the relay board, as the folks above have been suggesting. Carbs use... Well, they use whatever the heck the person who did the carb conversion felt like using! If you have D-jet, there are two excellent troubleshooting guides for your fuel pump. http://www.914fan.net/fuelpump.html -- A text troubleshooting guide http://members.rennlist.com/pbanders -- Look for the "fuel pump troubleshooting" link; these will be graphical flowcharts you can follow. --DD |

thanks for posting those links dave. a little thread with them in it, in the "classics", might be something to consider for easy access (but then we wouldn't have the joy of multipage fi prob threads). i wonder how many people actually read that wealth of material?
