sure its just the relay under the dash. but come to think of it, there might be a fuse in the box for the switch. you'll have to check all the fuses and illutrations.

 

did you put the full loom in? front to back or did you snip it down the drivers side. fuel pump wires are black with blue strip and black with red strip and are bigger i think?? have you checked that its all earthed properly. but this is probably not the prob seeing as the earth to the loom for that bit comes striaght from the battery. could be a battery problem, could always try another or hook up a booster pack

full loom but left the original fuel pump wires from back seat to pump and joined under seat only 2 wires the one for the pump and the one for render unit, the earth connections seem ok and are still attached under seat base. Havent got starter or alternater wired but this should not affect it should it

starter and alternator run on a seperate loom anyway don't they?? that shouldn't make a difference. hhmmmm i know on the mfi turbo loom there are 3 brown wires that go to the battery. if they are connected wrong then when you turn the ignition on the pump won't prime. is there a similar set on wires on the efi loom to the battery. also pull your fuse box out and check for broken wires underneath where they connet up to the fusebox.

 

do your ignition lights come on when you turn the switch? this is a wierd one. did you put a brand new FP relay in or another one lying around in there? could be that both relays are buggered, but thats not really likely, but then you never know. if these things are alright then i suggest you have a broken wire somewhere in the loom, or its not earthed around the car properly. are all interior earths and boot earths and engine bay earths on? did you try another battery or booster pack. even if the battery was abit buggered, you should still get some sort of current from itthat reads

another thing to try is to trace the fuel pump wires back to there source. then see what reading you get from that. ie under fusebox i think. if you get a reading from there you know there is a problem in the line somewhere. ie fuel pump relay. or a broken wire somewhere.

that isn't a daft question mate. but i can't give you an answer on that....lol. maybe. is all i can say to that. but wouldn't of thought so. have you not got one for it yet??. its linked up to the FP relay and ignition switch, then runs to the FB. do the few checks i mentioned first. i also think the fuel pump relay is connected to the ignition module..

 

its bound to be something stupid...lol. and small no doubt, always is

hello mate...bear in mind i dont know how wires are routed or anything...just read the drawing and made a sketch of the bit your interested in.

 

If ignition module (IM) is ecu then it looks like it needs to be plugged in.

 

Main power is from fuse 7 (red wire just noticed i havent wrote it on) going to pin 30 on pump relay, when relay is pulled in voltage will go to pump via pin 87 BK/R wire (noticed i aint wrote that on either lol) then other side of pump to earth.

 

I would start by testing V at pin 30, than check if relay is energising. If relay is energising and there is V at 30 then there should be V at 87. If V at 87 there should be V at pump unless wire is broke. If V at pump and its not running, its either knackered or no earth.

 

If relay isnt going in check connections on coil and IM, relay earth and relay itself.

 

Sketch is from 1986 onwards KE jetronic fuel injection, hope its right one.

 

Hope its been of some help
