Re: 87 camaro, fuel pump

Looks more like a statement than a question. Are you wanting to know something?

Re: 87 camaro, fuel pump

Re: 87 camaro, fuel pump

Have you checked the relays, fuses, etc.? Try jacking up the rear, disconnecting the plug at the fuel tank, and applying 12v directly to the pump wires to see if it's the pump or something else BEFORE you go to the trouble of replacing it.
