can't keep current to my fuel pump. Ok I'm at a complete loss. In my 94 formula my pump and relay are new. I even got a good used sending unit. But for some reason I can't keep juice to the pump. Any ideas or a wiring diagram you would recommend? I thought for sure the issue was resolved. Could it actually be a ecu issue? Can I run a hot wire straight to it? Just jumped off my fuse block? Please help! |
does Pump prime when ignition on? blowing fuses? |
if it does prime how long before pressure is gone. Inline gauge? |
Which fuse? I don't see one related? It's hit and miss. It'll stay running for a few then die. After I replaced the sending unit. It stayed running for a while before I shut it off. Then when I went to start it again after I buttoned everything up. It barely ran until continuously falling on it's face. Now the pump doesn't even turn on with out applied power from my power probe. |
Every standalone system runs fused power to the pump, but you have to make sure it cuts power with key off or with engine not running (stalled, etc.) |
maybe a bad relay? |

maybe a bad relay? out of the equation would be a good plan by replacing it. The relay is attached to the dead pedal on the drivers floor board. |
are you getting current to the sending unit? in my rx7 i would get current to the fuel pump connector on the outside of the sending unit. the connector inside of the tank burned up internally and it would not make a connection. so the power would stop right before the pump. this has happened to me twice after upgrading my fuel pump on 2 different cars. |
oh i had to change out the internal connector that plugged into the sending unit. i have no idea if this is even feasible on these cars. both issues were on my rx7s |
I had replaced all of this stuff. Even a different sending unit. Pump and relay are brand new. Sending unit was in better shape than in my car. When I installed it. Seemed to had worked. At one point it ran fine. Then it cut out. I applied power with my power probe and that didn't seem to do a dam thing. Which it should have I would think? best guess at this point could be a bad internal harness on the ground side or perhaps I got a bunk pump. Just sucks right now being that this is when the rain returns to the northwest. So it's been dumping like mad! |
Oh and it does prime and shut off after a few seconds as it should. So it has to be wiring. |
Well it turned out to be the in tank wire harness |
