HELP with Fuel Pump Hard-Wire (PIC inside)...

[TurboMeTroy]

Ha - Well...difficult start ups and doesn't exactly run like a finely-tuned piece of German machinery like it should. I replaced the: coil, plugs, Wires, Distrb., Air filter...and thought the fuel system might need some attention...so I going to just hard wire the pump to ensure the pump is working and see if it made the car run any smoother if I had the peace of mind that fuel pump was indeed pumping ...and the relay would be bypassed.

Give this trick a whirl, much less likely to result in fireworks, and you don't need to cut or rig anything.






eww. dirty relays.

BTW, you have two fuel pumps. The in tank one is a low pressure transfer pump, and the one under the car, in front of the LR wheel is the high pressure main pump. (right above the fuel filter) They both should make some sort of noise with that fuse in there.

Cool - Thanks!
Any...zoomed out shots?

that's a great idea dave. I have a whole bag of fuses I could use for something like this..

here goes it...should I document this? ;)

Sure, what do you need a zoomed out shot of? I just grabbed those real quick as I was posting. Oh, document it up, never know when it might help someone else.


Nando, that fuse has some mileage on it, very handy for testing stuff especially the damn fuel pumps that are hot on crank/run only. I have some other neat creations too, like a two prong 110v plug and some wire attatched to a fuse. One of the blades is twisted 90 degrees and it works great for most normal relays where 30 and 87 are at opposite ends of the relay. That comes in real handy as well.

Thats why i relocated mine. Make my engine bay look purdy. +1 on the bent fuse trick, -1 on losing at least 10 30 amp fuses in my garage lolz
