Ive been reading up on alot of old post but just wanted some opinions... This morning I tried to start my car and it wouldnt fire just cranked and cranked.. So from there I check the spark of the coil and its good (brand new msd) then I check the spark from the spark plus and they are also sparking good... So good news its not the opti, So fuel right? I took off my nitrous fuel line and turned the key and no gas anywhere.. ussually it would poor out, Then I pulled my fuel filter and it wasnt clogged, also with it off I turned the ignition on again and still no gas, So im thinking fuel pump or maybe just a fuse??? Also can someone tell me where the fuel pump fuse is.

 

Well bad news for ya, youll have to drop the gas tank for the fuel pump, so I would definitely check your fuses. If it is a blown fuse, check all the wiring because it is grounding somewhere and causing a short circuit.

 

nah ill cut an access door, i hope its just a fuse though

 

I went out and checked the relay and it clicks on... also if i prime it a few times.. like turn the key on and off 5 or 6 times my car will start but then die a second or two later... so.....??

 

fuel pump

 

Fuel pump because I just had the exact same thing happening to my car and thats what it was.

 

I just finished up cutting the hatch out, Went and bought a dremel and wow those things are great.. No I just have to wait till tuesday to get my new pump, btw heres a pic

good luck...i thought i was having the same problem as you at one point....but damn those optis...oh well at least i dont have to deal with dropping the tank

 

i was wondering if there could be a chance that its the opti? i mean im still getting spark at the coil and from the wires...

 

No Fuel = No run, change the pump first, they are common to burn up.

 

definitely the pump, let us know how it works out

 

You are a brave soul to cut through metal with a dremel, blindly, with the fuel lines about a 1/2" away. All it takes is one slip, and one spark. Congrats on not blowing yourself up.

 

what i did with the wires was, i made a few holes to make sure i was cutting in the right place then i cut the sides and the bottom first and the the with the final cut over the lines themselves I just cut a line not all the way through and flexed the metal back and forth.

 

thanks for the helps guys, i got the new pump in today and got her running
