89 TA won't start.. Could be fuel pump?
Yesterday I tried starting my 89 Trans Am, and had no problems started right up. I drove it about six blocks from my house, and it started to bog, then just died. Now it won't start. I noticed howover, when I turn the key to the ON position, I don't hear that super cool electronic fuel pump making any noise like it usually does.. soo..
Where can I find a wiring diagram for the ignition system?
[EDIT]
Found the FP relay, replaced it, not the problem. I still don't hear the pump kicking on when I turn the key.

I would check that FP fuse, capped next to battery. I think its an orange and red wire? Is there a FP fuse under dash?
If not the fuse(s), try to manually run FP. Run 12v jumper wire from fuse box to Pin G of ALDL. When key is in "on" position, FP will run continuously.

TPI also has a fuel pump relay. It's mounted on the drivers side of the firewall along with 3 other relays. That does usually throw a computer code, but not always.
