The Beast I Drive Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 What color is the negative wire to the coil? is it the yellow one or the black one with the white stripe?

The Beast I Drive Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks, I had a brain fart and remembered my mom's wagon is the EXACT same thing that mine was, so I went and looked at it. The real reason I ask is because I keep blowing the fuel pump/coil fuse, and I dont know why. I replaced the coil so we will see what happens, I think I damaged something when I shorted the battery on the alternator about 3 months ago. I replaced the fuses that were blown, and the black fusible link, but I have blown the fuel pump/coil fuse 3 times since i put in the new motor. btw I had a coil from a wrecked turbo wagon in when i blew the second and third fuses, and I replaced it with the stock one. Think I need to replace the fuel pump? -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I need to replace the fuel pump?-Bill my wagon had a replacement pump on it when i got it at 110k . . . my suggestion would be to make sure the pump is grounded well (leaky hoses can cause a huge mess that's non condusive to a good ground) and also if you have a multimeter, make sure the positive line isn't grounding against the body, eliminate all you can before replacing pump, i think those are kinda expensive:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks, normally I am pretty good at figuring this stuff out on my own, but this one has me confuzzled. I know it all started when I shorted the battery on the alternator. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it very much -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
