So, today while trying to figure out my fuel problem I noticed that my fuel pump was running off of the coil, and batt ground. I've been told that the coil should not have to push any other devices, so I decieded to wire it back to the stock wireing. Well that went smoothly and now my pump primes for 2 second's and shut's off , YA!, but the car won't fire. I know it's the new wireing because it did fire when running off of the coil. It seams to me that if I'm hearing it prime that would mean that it is getting 12 volt's. So does this mean I have a bad relay?

Check the fuse on the relay board for the fuel pump (rotate it in the holder several times and/or clean it and put it back in). Also reset the fuel pump relay several times.
If you have an extra black relay laying around.. pop the top off of it and use it as a test relay. Once you pop the top off of it.. you can manually actuate the relay by pushing down. This is how I test ALL electrical issues that involve the relay. You can also locate the pin on the 14 pin front connector that runs over to the fuel pump. Locate it and use a small jumper wire to some 12volt source and see if the pump runs when you put 12volts to the pin for the fuel pump. I'll get a pic for you. B |
