Well I think I found it.. I'm now getting my 2 second purg signal from the ECM.. odd it wasnt there before.. anywho.. fuel pump i do belive is fried.. was getting very little ohms from fuel pump pos + to ground -.. now not getting anything.. checked plugs in between.. all looks good.. no HUMM or anything if i jump from (+) to Fuel pump wire.. i suppose i'll soon be pulling my rearend then anyone know of a place for the best deal on a 255LPH pump?

 

Before you drop the tank, have you checked the C313 as the tech article recommends? Many cars have a bad connection there and once cleaned, the pump usually works ok. If it's just an oxidized C313, you won't have to drop the rear axle and tank. Just trying to save you unnecessary labor.

my fuel pump may be fried as well. i can't seem to locate the fuel pump fuse. the service manual says it should be there (there's even a picture), but it isn't there on my model. Any ideas? The car is a 1990 GTA 305.

forgot to ask... what is a C313? Where is it located?

 

i found a fuse just off the battery terminal, which i think is the fuel pump fuse. The fuse appears to be fine.

 

Did you also forget to read the troubleshooting article mentioned above?
It tells you exactly where the C313 is and how to get to it and test it.

make u a fused jumper wire . pull down the back seat . plice into full pump wire . should work. if not check ground wire located in same place, make sure its grounded but usually if u have a bad ground your full gauge jumps to full
