WHERE IS THE FUEL PUMP FUSE ON MY 86 2.8 FIREBIRD???????

 

dude, don't feel bad 'cause you can't find it. I was told that it was one of the fuses mounted up on the firewall next to the brake booster, but I pulled all 3 of them and the stupid thing still ran...so I don't know either.

 

RIGHT, well my car won't run, so i need to find it, i think im having a problem in there, she cranks away and won't start, so i'm havin to know where she is!!!

 

are you sure it's a fuel problem. Most of the time when a car won't start, it's ignition. I don't know how much you have looked into the problem, but it's worth a try. Does the pump buzz when you turn the ignition to "on" but don't start it?

 

i think ive tryed pretty much everything with the ignition, im just running thru the options... but till, would be nice to know where that fuse is anyways.... and yes.... i belive there is a buzz

 

did you look on passanger side fender beside the headlights?

there should be a 3 way post relay, the wire that goes back to the firewall will have a fuse holder in series with a weatherpack top, pull cap, fuse is right there.

 

thought that was the maf and head light fuses... but yeah, ill check that out

 

The 3 plugs you see on the driverside firewall are the relays, and yes one of them is the fuel pump relay. As for the fuel pump/ECM fuse (thier one and the same). Its near your engine coolant reservoir, should be on the passenger fender. You'll know its it because it has a electrical plug, the fuse is hooked on the plug. Well, thats where it is on my 3.1, might be the same for the 2.8.

 

Yes, it's in the same spot on the 2.8. 2.8 will also have a MAF fuse nearby. MAF fuse uses red and brown wires to the fuse holder. ECM/Fuel pump fuse has red and Orange wires coming from it.

Check the circuit (CKT 340) with a test light at the fuel pump relay to make sure you're getting +12 volts.

 

ok found it, i thougth that the fuel pump fuse was one of the head lamp fuses, but i guess not....
