nipper Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Refresh my memory please. When you turn the key "on" and do not start the car the fuel pumps runs for a bit to fill/presurize the fuel system then times out. When the car is running the fuelpump just runs? It has been AGES, and i mean three dogs ages since i worked on a sooby fuel system with a carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 That's typically how thye work, yes. There is a fuel pump control unit in most of them (except the feedback EA82's) that handles this - it runs the pump for 1.5 seconds then waits for a tach signal to resume pumping.
