Posted this on a local board and I still haven't gotten the problem fixed...here's the situation...was driving home the other day and my car stalled at a stop light...long story short, the car will not fire. I have spark. The fuel pump does not turn on when I turn the key. Attaching a wire from 12V source to Terminal G will turn the fuel pump on. Car still won't fire with the fuel pump wired to always run. I checked the inline fuse by the battery (is there only 1 fuse over there? I only found one so I'm assuming it's the one I'm looking for) and it's not blown.

Any ideas?

 

You should establish whether you have fuel rail pressure, and how much. A pressure guage is required for this. There should be 37 SPI at the rail, 44 with the pump running and engine off. The engine should start with as little as 30 PSI, but may have some difficulty.

 

Possible bad relay. Had the same problem but it was the fuel pump. Damn I hate the factory fuel pump (in tank SOB, MF, Bastard!) Replaced it with a new one and it failed again!

 

Oil pressure unit? I know whey work hand in hand and if the oil pressure falls it kicks the pump off. Just a idea.

 

I'll have to buy a fuel pressure gauge from autozone and check. I don't know if I'll be able to check today because I work at 5pm and it's raining awfully bad right now due to some storms off the coast.

The relay might've gone and that's why the fuel pump won't turn on by itself, but with me putting 12v to the G terminal and the pump running, the relay shouldn't be what's preventing me from starting. Samething with the oil pressure switch. I'm just trying to get my car to run right now so I can get it home without a tow truck. I'll try to fix the real problem later.

Thanks

 

Well, I ended up being able to start it by attaching a 12V source to that inline fuse. I must have a short somewhere between the battery and the inline fuse. I haven't found it yet, but it's gotta be there somewhere. Right now I've just got alligator clips going between the battery terminal and the inline fuse.

I've been unattaching the gator clip everytime I park the car because I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be applying the 12V to the computer all the time. Is this okay or should I find a power source that only turns on when the ignition is on?
