Alright, so a couple of days ago i left home, got like 500m down the street and the car died. Def. the fuel pump, because its not priming on ACC. So, question is, is it the actual pump that crapped out or some shitty electrical problem. Really don’t feel like tracing all the wiring. My guess is that it is the pump, because it started fine, ran for a bit then just died while driving. As far as checking things, so far i’ve checked the fuse/relay and theyr fine. All input welcome. Need to get this thing driving. ---

if fuse and relay are fine…time for a walboro did u check to see that the ignition switch is triggering the relay? or some other way? ---

Uh i’m pretty sure the one that does all the clicking isn’t the fuel pump one cause i don’t remember the fuel pump relay clicking. But than again its hard to hear clicks over all that Justin Bieber my neighboors love so much. fags… If its a s13 the EGI PUMP relay is the fuel pump one and there is a schematic on the top or side (can’t remember which) that shows which is the trigger and which is the main. Just take some wire and jump the main sockets and listen for the pump. That’ll tell you if its the relay or not. You can also remove the relay and using a multimeter check the trigger sockets to see if there is a voltage applied when the car switches to ON. Get somebody to keep switching from ACC to ON and check for the voltage and that’ll tell you if its behind (towards ECU) the relay. If you get a voltage the problem is gonna be after (towards pump) the relay. Hope that helps ---

As far as i know, you’re supposed to hook up the +/- terminals and the fuel line. all input welcome. ---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ---------- oh and there was a walbro in there. im guessing it just failed? so yea im taking out a walbro and putting a stock one in. ---

Btw the red tube is a breather tube , if u see the clamp that has fallen down by the ziptie just slide it up and clamp it onto the nipple that comes out of the pump off centered. not all pumps have them ---
