Markus56 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hey guys I've been putting togther a hatchback as a project and when i tried to get it to start, i couldn't get the fuel pump to work. I did some searching but i couldn't get anything to come up. Where should i start looking? I unhooked the pump under the car and hooked a multi meter to it, and didn't get any power. So I think the fuel pump is still good. What controls the fuel pump? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Check the fuse and the relays, swap out one of the relays with a known good one. work your way from the battery to the pump measuring for 12.7 V, where it stops there is your issue.

GeneralDisorder Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 You might have a bad pump - they only get power while cranking or running. Check for power to the FPCU bolted to the hood release cable bracket next to the driver's left knee. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus56 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I had an assistant turn the key back and forth while checking for voltage, but i had no idea where the FPCU was. Thanks GD! we'll see what happens when i get a chance to work on it next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
