Fuel Pump Problems!!!!!!!!!!

I just bought a 1990 Camaro RS and the guy said that the car would run it jus needed the wiring fixed to the fuel pump. And he also said he had put on a new fuel pump. So when i got the car i put on a new fuel pump relay. That wasnt the problem. Someone told me to jump the wires on the plug that plugs into the relay. When i did that i saw a spark and now i dont get any power. So i knew i blew a fuse to the fuel pump so i looked on the fuse panel and i cant find a fuse that is labled f. Pump like in the manuel. Then i Heard someone say there is a fuseable link for the fuel pump. If Anybody Knows were either one is or has any other suggestions they will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Fuel Pump Problems!!!!!!!!!!

On my 88, the fuse is located just a head of the battery on the right fender well under hood.

Re: Fuel Pump Problems!!!!!!!!!!

When working on an electrical system and "shorting something to something", you really need to know what you're doing, or AT LEAST have diagrams. You're lucky that you just blew a fuse and didn't catch your new car on fire.

Here's a link to a troubleshooting article for the electric fuel pump. If you follow it, it will help you find the source of your problem. http://www.austinthirdgen.org/index.php?pid=35

The fact that the previous owner replaced the fuel pump (or at least he claims) means that he knows nothing about the car. If he did, the fuel pump would work now.
So don't believe everything previous owners tell you. Remember, they're trying to offload their broken car onto an unsuspecting buyer, also called "the sucker".

A no-fuel condition can have several different causes. That's why I posted the troubleshooting article link, it'll help you find it.

P.S.: As King1960 said, the F/P fuse is located near the battery, in a single-fuse holder. It looks kind of like an unused connector. Should be bolted to the fenderwell.
