Wastelander Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hi all I'm new to the club and look foward to discussing with everyone about cabbys. I have had my cabby for about a year now and I've started having a problem with it. One day it decided to not start managed to narrow it down to a fuel problem. Bought my self a new relay from a friend who breaks fords. He gave me a large pink relay went to fit it but there isn't a pink relay on the car already nearest colour is red so I tried that first witg no luck. Then looked for advice on the net and people saying the pump relay is yellow, brown, grey so I still don't know if it's a relay problem or the pump itself I'm so confused I'm pretty sure someone must know. As much as I love my old Fords I having got a clue how they work so I apologise. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wastelander Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Ok yer sorry guys it's an xr3i h reg 1990 efi 1.6. Under the dash is no pink relay. There is yellow, red, green and a larger grey all in the same colour slots I hope this helps I'm a bit thick when it comes to cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Bearded Minky Hill Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 The fuel relay is yellow on efi. When you turn on the ignition can you hear the pump prime? If not there should be a fuel cut out switch in the boot under the spare wheel. That could have tripped also the wireing to the cut out switch can get corroded so give that a look mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alvaro Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hi. The last weekend I was checking my fuel pump relay in a 1991 1.6 EFi CVH. In this model the fuel pump relay is fitted to the reverse side of the “invehicle” fuse board. You need to remove the fusebox cover and unclip the fusebox. Unscrew the six securing screws to detach and remove the lower facia panel on the driver’s side. And the color, in this model, is brown. The part number is 85GG14N089CA.

Stephen Bearded Minky Hill Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Does the pump prime when you turn the ignition on or is it completely dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
