Stranded at a friend's house, need any help I can get ASAP.

Well I installed a Racetronix kit last week. Last night I shut the car off, ran into the gas station, and when I came back the car would not start. I can't hear the pump at all. Finally it turned over but ran horrible. If I gave it gas it would stall out immediately. Had it towed to a friends house. I supplied 12v to the fuel pump jumper in the engine bay and it still will not turn on. Does this mean my new pump is bad? The jumper will bypass everything correct?

 

I don't know about the jumper or any of that stuff but maybe shine a flashlight up by the tank and make sure your connections and ground are good and try another relay. Good luck,

Larry

 

Did you cut the access panel in the rear deck to get to it when you installed it? Is so... pop it off and check it.... if not, get out the cutters and cut a hole, lol.

 

Door was cut. All connections are good. Just gonna be pretty pissed if my new pump crapped out already.

 

Hey dont scare me, I just got my new racetronix in the mail yesterday

 

do you have an ohmmeter by any chance? If the pump is broken, you will have no resistance (Ohms) between the power and ground to the pump (Ohmmeter will read OL).

 

There is 2.3kohms of resistance at the pump.

 

That's interesting.... My only advice at this point would be to try to jump the connection directly to the fuel pump and see if it works. I'm not sure what the resistance spec is for the pump but at least you could find out if you have a bad connection in your wiring to the pump.

 

Just supplied direct power. Nothing.

 

that sucks. It might be time to return it for a new one?

 

Yeah well unfortunately because of the weekend and how late it is I can't get one till tuesday now. This sucks since its my daily driver.

 

Does it have the "Hotwire" Racetronix harness? I had a problem with the Racetronix harness on my Typhoon, the pump wouldn't work with it so I just hooked it up to the stock harness and it worked fine. It's worth a try.
