RE: my fuel pump still wont kick on
ORIGINAL: no slow 5.0
like i said im giving up and proballygo with the toggle switch
like i said im giving up and proballygo with the toggle switch
........ Man this issue can be simple to solve with patience and a test light here is how:1. locate fuel pump harness connector = plugs into top of tank assembley and unplug
2. hook one end of test light to the neg side of connector and other to positive
3.with light hooked in series turn key to on position and watch for light to come on the test light briefly and go out
4.then crank engine and watch test light to stay lite while cranking
5.If in steps 3 and 4 those results are as mentioned then the wiring and electrical integrity of the circuit has the potential to operate normally and is okay and those results would lead you to a bad fuel pump.
6. however if test light fails to light in anyone of the above steps then check fuse box and if the light fail to light up while cranking then you could have a bad stator/pick up in the distributor and or Tfi module but if you had a bad pick up in the distributor then you wouldn't have spark.......I assume you have verified via the proper methoods that you have spark and have narrowed your problem down to a fuel system issue???
