So, was running fine, going to double check my timing, wouldn't restart (tried, but couldn't keep running). No pump sound and no pressure on the gauge (I love you, fuel pressure gauge). Whacked the pump with a screwdriver handle, nothing. Pushed it into the garage, figured I would give it one last listen in the quiet, heard a little bit of something, then a little grumble from the pump and I had pressure again. Started up just fine.
To me that says fuel pump, not relay. Any other experienced folk have some wisdom? I need to move my pump up front anyway but I was planning on keeping the original. now that I am thinking about it, it did struggle to start earlier in the day as well but cleared up. Car sat for a couple months during the winter. |

Any time someone discusses a fuel pump prob, my first recommendation is to make a jumper wire for the relay.
I chased my tail on a "fuel pump" prob before it was finally isolated to the relay/board. There's so many ongoing issues with relays and the board that "electrical" is always my initial go-to. Get that possibility eliminated first. |

Thanks guys, yeah, that will be my job this afternoon. I will see about bypassing that relay.
