I can't get my fuel pump to run unless I jumper the plug for the DME relay. The car starts and runs with the connection jumped but the fuel pump then runs all the time. Just want to know where to look and what to do.
I'm very electrically challenged so you might need to really dumb it down for me. Thanks |

I had a similar problem on my 930. Engine would run, then lose power. Sometimes it wouldn't start. The pump wasn't running. I traced it to the relay (not sure if 930 calls it DME) not making contact. I took it apart to find a smaller relay inside with some circuitry. Pulled the smaller relay off and found the contacts were barely making contact and sometimes wouldn't. Bent the relay contacts and haven't had any issues for 2 years.
