 |
|
Ok, well my car is refusing to pump fuel, it seems like the pump isnt getting any power. Alternators new, wiring is all connected/good, batterys new, carby is new. That would leave the relay for the fuel pump and the fuel pump itself as being the problem?
How the fuck do i test these things?

| i would get a constant power source and send power stragith to the fuel pump where it goes into the tank. this might mean getting a spare battery or tappin into your rear lights. test to c if its not the fuel pump. then go and buy a relay |

My money's on the relay being stuffed. I'd run a fused line direct from the battery to the fuel pump and see if it pumps then. If it does, then your relay is stuffed and you need a new one. If it doesn't pump, then your fuel pump is stuffed and you need a new one. Cheers  |
