My 1972 1.7 914 recently decided to not start. I quickly noticed that the fuel pump is not running briefly like it should after the ignition key is turned. I verified that the relays on the relay board (Master, Fuel Pump, Blower) are all good by trying them on the headlight motors. I then verified that the two fuses on the relay board are good. Next, I popped the cap on the fuel pump relay and pressed it... the fuel pump runs when I do this. (The car will then start and run for a few seconds if I start it). Sooooo, I am at a loss... The fuel pump is fine, relay board is fine, relays are fine... what could be causing the fuel pump to not activate? Thank you for any advice. Wayne
