If it's not the FP/inj fuse, try the fuel pump relay. You can make the pump come on by running power to the single wire connector hanging out of the wiring harness near the powersteering pump. It's the black or brown one, not the green. If the pump comes on, it's something upstream of the connector like the relay.

I am knee deep in a similar problem. Check fuel pump/injector fuse first. Check the fuel pump relay. Pump should come on for 2 sec when ignition is turned on. Fuel pump relay controls this. After the oil pressure switch sees something like 3-5 psi a parallel circuit on the same fuel pump/ injector fuse closes to keep the fuel pump operating even if fuel pump solenoid is not operating. I think my problem is a ground issue. Still working through. You can test the fuel pump by jumping 12 V to the fuel pump tap. If the pump runs when jumped then there is a problem in fuel pump circuit. The correct fuel pump relay can be ordered through NAPA. If you go to "the zone" they will likely list same solenoid as for AC cutout....don't you believe it. AM

[Andrew Mandery]

Do you have a fax or will your computer accept a fax?

I hope we make it this time. I sent the thing in five parts to avoid the size limit. None have bounced back so far. You will need adobe pdf reader to open the file. Try the address bove. I will gladly cpoy these off and mail them to you if you so desire. Good luck Am
