Ok when i turn the key on i should hear the fuel pump prime, am i right?

Well i turn the key on and hear nothing, the car has been sitting without start for a couple months due to inner fender being out and no place to hold battery.

My question is, if the fuel pump is bad how difficult is it to change, is it up front or in the tank? I have a 89 formula 305 TPI.

If this is not the problem, suggestions?

 

Check your fuel pump relay and make sure it's working properly.

 

if your sure u dont have any fuel pressure.i would check to see if u have power at the three wire connector(located above the differential).if u have power at the the plug than your pump is bad if u dont have power than i would check the fuel pump relay.
now to change the fuel pump.jack the rear of the car,place the stands on the frame not the axle.i cut the exhaust pipe just before it goes around the axle(sawzall does a perfect job),remove the muffler.support the axle and disconnect the lower shock nuts.let the axle hang.remove the muffler shields.disconnect the fuel pump wires ,and fuel lines.now here comes the fun part remove the fuel tank straps.the fuel tank filler neck is going to fight u.keep in mind that the fuel filler neck has a flexable end to it.

Thank you, now wheres the relay lol, or is it the plug above diff?

Thanks again

 

???

 

Here are the relay locations . They may not be in that order though.

 

Did someone ask where the fuel pump relay is located?



It could also be a fuel pump fuse:

 

ok thank you alot, i think i know what my problem is...when i took the inner fender wells out to replace i unhooked that fuse...wow im glad it was somthing simple, im going to go out in a min to make sure that it..

 

well folks i think i have some work ahead of me.....drop some exhaust, and rear end lol, sounds like fun, thanks for the help..

 

but before i give up how do you check to make sure the relay is working properly?

oh and the plug that i thaught was it was on the other side of the eng comp and it went it what looked like a vaccum canister lol
