hi. (72 1.7 FI). my fuel pump won't run. I've checked all the fuses, relays etc.
when I used an alternative power sourse (battery charger) to the fuel pump it works, so I know it's an electrical problem.
Could it be in the actual ignition switch ??? Just looking for ideas, let me tell you I am really bad at electronics, so please keep answers so an normal ignorant person (myself) can understand.
tks for your help.

What hapens if I run the car with the fuel pump hot wired to the fuse box ? Is this bad ? The car runs that way, but I don't want to cause any damage.

yes, it's bad.
the FI brain controls the pump. if you hotwire the pump, the brain can't shut it off.

if you crash your car and the motor stalls, the pump will still run and you'll burn into a rice-crispy.

other than that, you'll probably be fine ...
