no fuel to 84 hatch

[old sub freak]

Hey all ...My 84 hatchback has no power to the fuel pump..I think its the "roll over switch"..Its just above the hood latch,a little blue box...can these be bought or bypassed ? Thank you ,todd

I never had an 84 - but none I had older or newer had a roll over switch.   They do have control that shuts off the fuel pump if the engine stops running.

You can bypass it to test, but I would not leave it bypassed.

When/how did you find out that there’s no power? 

‘84 could be the year where they introduced the fuel cut relay. I’d be looking at this first. It’s a black box behind the kick panel above the driver’s feet. 

I’ve heard they can go bad but I’ve not experienced this myself. 

If your coil dies the fuel pump won’t work either. If your coil dies your ignition module dies too. Got a good coil and ignition module in there??

Hey Bennie ,coil is good.i can run it with power right from the battery to the fuel pump.But that little box by the hood latch is defective.I have had it happen before and some how bypassed it ..that was 15 years ago and i forgot how i did it..Just hoping someone has a fool proof plan ;{) Thank you ,todd
