Fuel Pump/Relay Issue

Re: Fuel Pump/Relay Issue
Just put the new pump in and it's do nothing so far. It isn't pumping at all. Could it be the regulator? Is there a way for me to test? 12V are supposed to be running to the pump, correct?

Check the pump harness for damaged/frayed wires. I wish I had a FSM then I could look up the wiring diagram/sequence.

with key on yes it builds up momentarily. Did you try to jump it from the front? If it runs then you have problems else where, relay, regulator, wiring.

Re: Fuel Pump/Relay Issue
It's getting enough pressure when we bypass the relay, but with the relay in I only get about 7 volts at the pump. The pump will turn on for 1-2 seconds and I hear a high pitch sucking sound and then it turns off instantly. I've read something about it possibly being the oil pressure sending unit. Any ideas?

its not the oil pressure sending unit. I know some one on here had a similar problem, go over all the wires and where they connect, if you see damage on the looms or insulation (wire coverings and wraps) open them check each wire for good insulation and make sure there are not any burnt ones.

Re: Fuel Pump/Relay Issue
did you try priming the pump from the single jumper? this should bypass all relays and if you get better fuel pressure if would suggest possible short/relay/regulator problems.

I gotta get back to my 12s thru the weekend... exercises are so cool But Ill look into finding a better wiring diagram for the v6

Re: Fuel Pump/Relay Issue
The hot wire on the fuel pump is grounded with the relay out. Is this normal? Bypassing the relay will get 12 volts to the hot wire to the pump, but when it is plugged into the fuel pump it is grounded.

Almost traded the 'maro in today for a mazda, but couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm getting a mechanic to fix it and not going to keep putting tons of time into it. It may be the ECM or a Crank shaft sensor?

Re: Fuel Pump/Relay Issue
My mechanic friend is bringing over is code tester. He was checking all the wires and it's getting 12 volts without the relay in it from the switch and only getting 1 volt with the really in from the switch. He said that it was possibly the ignition switch or the ecm. I'm getting it towed to his house so we can test it thoroughly.
