DustyWolfe Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 86 dl ea82 carb. I keep having problems with my fuel pump working intermittently. sometimes it will run fine then all of a sudden nothing. ive replaced the pump itself twice so I think that is eliminated as a suspect however im having troubles coming up with a possible cause other than a fuel pump relay which ive only found a little info on. so my question is: do these cars have relays for the pump? and if so where would they be located? does thios sound like a common problem? thanks in advance for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 It's not a simple relay. But there is a "control unit" It's mounted up above the hood latch pull. Has 4 or 5 wires into it. The yellow wire is tach signal wire, if this wire is not recieving the pulse from the coil, it will not power hte pump, or the solenoids on the carb. The blue/black wire is 12v out to the pump......put a test light on it with the car running, and watch to see if it stays consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustyWolfe Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I cant seem to post a picture for some reason.... anyway what I found up there (and was trying to post a picture of) is 4 little cylinders that loosely resemble flasher modules. could it be one of those? edit: let me post the picture edit 2: after a little research ive come to the conclusion that those aren't it. I found a picture of the guts of it in another thread so now I have a general size of what it is but still cant find it. is it normally hidden? found it it was on the right side of the cockpit(?) under the dash also there was 6 wires to it Edited October 7, 2013 by DustyWolfe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
