So pulled the Buick out the other day after it sitting for 4 weeks or so. Go out cruising, go about 25-30 miles make a stop, get on it a few times everythings going great. I pull up to another stop and when i go to restart the car nothing. Ends up i have no fuel pressure. Im not getting anything on my pressure gauge tapped into the fuel line under the hood. No sound from the pump. I just recently put in a new walbro and a hotwire kit. Check the fuse on the hotwire kit and its fine, the two relays (one under the hood and one by the bumper for the hotwire kit) both click so it seems they are getting power. Just recently had knee surgery so i was unable to twist up under the dash to get to the fuse and it was getting cold and late so i had a buddy of mine how owns a tow company tow me home.
Go out there this morning determined to somehow twist myself under the dash to get to the fuse feeling like maybe that blew from a short or something. Pop the hood before i do anything and holy crap i have 42psi on the rail and i havent turned the key in 16hours. Go try and start the car it starts right up! So something funky is going on, not sure how the pump could energize with the ignition off and build pressure. Not sure how else could be getting PSI in the line without the pump going. So is my pump running 24/7??? I cant hear it with the car sitting.
Must be something funky with the electrical just confused on where to start. All ideas welcome...
