No power at fuel pump

[jaydeep]

I changed fuel pump and car did not turn on. I took volt meter and checked there is no power at the pump. There was power before I changed fuel pump. What could be wrong? I can see wire is going to the trunk. Do you guys have fuel pump wiring diagram? Anyone got solution?

Check the main-relay

I don't have another one to swap. Is there a was to tell if relay is bad?

there's not always power to the fuel pump unless the engine is turning over

You can jump the terminals on the fuel pump relay to check and see if the wiring is OK- just connect the 2 larger wires out of the 4, I *think* one is red and the other is purple/green. Jumping them will send power to the fuel pump whether the key is on or off, so don't do it too long.


Why did you change the fuel pump????

Why did you change the fuel pump????

Car is been sitting in garage for 4 years and won't start. So I put little gas in air intake and car wanted to start. Car was not getting gas so I looked if fuel pump is getting power. It was then I took out fuel pump and it was shot. Also had to change injector since they were clogged. After doing all that all the sudden no power at fuel pump.
