Fuel pump relay problems


Recommended Posts

As above, my car is in the garage and will not start. The machanic (good mate) is a bit mythed by it all, he says it will start if you put a live on the fuel pump, but can't trace the relay or any blown fuses. He thinks it's a problem with some sort of little ECU ?? I'm also useless with cars haha so if this makes no sense sorry.

Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers Todd

I think the fuel pump relay is located near the glovebox area. Possibly above it as that's where it is on a gt. it has five wires going to it and it's dark green from memory. As for the "switch" for it, it's signal comes from the ecu. "FC" on connector number 2 becomes an earth when the ecu detects a cranking signal from the distributor pick up. Another thing to check is the earth point on the inlet manifold that goes to the idle control valve. This is one of the main earths for the ecu and could play a part in the starting issue.
