Please help! So we had our car out for the first time following its resurrection from the dead with the stainless steel fuel lines and the relocation of the fuel pump complete.
All was good until we noticed a small fuel leak from under the tank. So we removed the tank tightened everything up, fired up the engine but then could tell that this time around we had some fuel lines kinked up as the fuel supply was now erratic. We pulled the fuel pump out from its new home up front behind the access panel several times but had trouble finding a good position where all the lines were again running freely. You could hear the turbulence in the lines and hear the pump straining a bit. Unfortunately after several attempts the pump just quit trying. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Damn! So my first thought was that we fried our pump. We removed it and hooked it up directly to another battery that we had. Gave it a quick jump and it is pumping away humming along just fine. Ok good. So then our next thought was the relay in the engine compartment. So we checked it but you can both hear and feel it click over when the ignition key is turned. So now I assume that means the relay is ok. Just in case we popped in a new one and it too appears to be clicking over on ignition. Finally we checked the voltage at the pump and get nothing with the turn of the key. At this point then in summary what I think I have is a good pump, a good relay but no power going to the pump. What do we check now?!?!?!?! Thank you in advance! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
