Re: fuel pump relay

If the pump runs but the engine doesn't start, the problem is not likely the relay. Bypassing the relay isn't going to help (since that's exactly what you already did with the test connector).

You need to test fuel pressure and injector operation.

Re: fuel pump relay

well, when i try to strt it the pump does not come on nor does it prime. i can make the pump come on steady with the test wire but it dosnt start. also i just installed a new fuel pump today because the old one wouldnt even come on with the test wire. also the one relay has a burnt clip so this is why im thinking its the relay

Re: fuel pump relay

well just replace the relay as it is cheap enough and easy enough that way your not screwing around with wires and paperclips...
