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 |

Do what Spoke suggested and put an ohm Meter on pin 20 of the dme. It should be grounded while cranking the starter. If it's not then something else connected to the DME is causing the problem. Have to troubleshoot each sensor / inputs on the DME to figure it out. I have had lots of interesting problems with my injection that I used the Bentley manual to trouble shoot.
Motor won't start after installing for the first time - turns out it was a pinched fuel line under tank which doubled the fuel pressure Car sat for 3 years and wouldn't start (rustoration) -Pelican guy's on there 911 forum recommended unplugging the injectors one at a time. After unplugging the last one it started and ran on 5 cylinders. Shut motor off and plugged it back in and now it runs fine on all six cylinders for over two years now. The flywheel sensors are also known causing no start issues. Some people replace them and get rebuilt injectors when they overhaul the engine. Otherwise mine runs great and I have not had any problems besides the above. Not bad for 33 year old original motor with a bazillion miles on it!! |

Remember, i did say my car starts, I need to figure out why the fuel pump wont run unless I remove the dme relay and jump it with a wire. But I will follow all the advise you guys have given me and report back. As always, I appreciate the help. |
