Gentlemen,
Got in the car to start it yesterday and it would not start. We've managed to trace the problem down to the fact that the fuel pump is not getting any power. Can anyone help us with troubleshooting what too look at next. We know that the power is switched through the Fuel Pump relay on the relay board, but dont really know what or how to check there. Would really like to talk to someone ASAP as I only have limited hold over my brother/mechanic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Anyone willing to speak real time would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!! Doug |

QUOTE(ein 6er @ Jul 14 2003, 01:02 PM) hey doug, once, i had a fuel pump relay go bad on a 74 2.0. IIRC the pump stayed on with key off. at the time, (early 80s), i didn't know you could swap relays. so i opened the relay, there is a small breaker point that opens and closes for the pump. i had to put a toothpic between the points to shut off the pump. when i went somewhere i would pull the toothpic and start the car. when i got to where i was going i had put the pic back in!! worked great until i could find another relay!! doug waters LOL.. Necessity, the mother of invention! I took my old relay apart as well and went through it with a multi-tester. Somewhere in the coil, there was a break in continuity, so no such luck for me. I've ordered new relays and they should be here tomorrow. Back to normal !!! Thanks again for tall the help guys. Doug |
