after I installed the walbro @ about 4:00 pm I took it out for a drive for about 30 min then I parked it. decieded to do some logs at 10:00 and as I was driving out to my spot the car dies.
I tried to start it but no luck, it jusk cranks but does not start. I got a ride from a friend and we swapped back to the stock thinking it may be a bad pump but still does not start. I'm thinking it might be the relay since the pump is not turning on, can anyone think of what it might be? please help since it's parked on the side of the road outside of town!!!

 

fuse? relay?

 

Maybe Cracked fuel pump housing

 

Did you say you swapped the OEM back but it doesn't work still?? Is everything plug back in correctly and snuggly in place?

 

everything looks good unless I'm missing something? was woundering where is the relay for the fuel pump? are they known to go out? I was thinking about just hardwiring it to get it home will that work?

 

i bet you forgot to reinstall the little rubber spacer from the stock pump. same thing happened to my buddy.

 

the spacer is installed, the car was rinning fine untill all of a sudden it dies, fuel pump not turning on,

 

what do you guys think about hard wiring the pump? will that bypass the stock wiring? checked all relays and fuses, all good

 

well it is obvious installation error because it only started after. I would just take it to a shop have them check it..

 

same thing happened to me. i thought i could get away without using the wiring kit with the pump cause my buddy did and has had no problems. anyways i installed it worked fine for the first start up took it for a test ride for about 3 or 4 miles and stopped at a light and would not get any power and pump turned off. i had to swap back stock pump and fired right up. then i used wiring kit and never have had a problem since. maybe try that?

 

it needs to be primed, look for david buschurs thread on this he just addresses this problem within the last month or so

 

I switched back to the stock pump, still does not get power, I got a wire clip that the pump came with is that the wire harness your refering to?

 

how much gas you got in there? Does the rest of the car turn on fine. battery ok?

 

about little under half, and yes everthing else checks out fine, the pump is not getting power don't hear it turning on, WHY ? I took a day off to mess with it and geting towed. any one else have any ideas? could it be crank angle sensor? could it be my ecu? please help batery now is almost dead from trying to crank it

 

the pump is not getting power. Its all trial and error, my father and uncle made me learn the hard way. Trace the power to the pump and see why thers no power to it. More then likely its just the relay or fuse. Its not the pump because the stock ones not getting power either. Its deffinetly a power problem.

unless your ECU took a crap, but i highly dougbt it.

goodluck
