Kootenays kid Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Need to know any info on testing fuel pump, lack of fuel is the reason. if I put some fuel in up top she starts up for a few seconds, I also drained the fuel filter and nothing is coming through the lines. I had the car on an empty take on an angle all summer sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee2 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Try rapping on the fuel pump with something like a screwdriver handle. Sometimes it will get it going again. If the problem persists then you may need a new fuel pump. Lines could also be fouled but unlikely. I've let mine sit for two years and it still fired up with new fuel.

Shortaay Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Connect the green connectors under the hood by the driver side strut tower. Turn the key on. the pump should cycle every 3 seconds and you should hear the relay clicking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenays kid Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thanks for the help!! that worked, checked with the wires, no action, so I banged on it a little and she started to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Be ready to replace the fuel pump, it may do this again. The sitting may be why, so it might keep working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee2 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Yes, since it started working again after banging on it simply tells you that the pump needs to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenays kid Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 I think it was the long time sitting on an angle for almost 5 months, plus being on an empty, empty tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
