sharpertouch Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 my 87 starion sat for a month or two and the batt went dead. i put her on my charger which also aparently wasnt working right. finally jumped her with another running car and she crancked over but i didnt hear my fuel pump prime the line. i put power directly to the pump and at worked perfectly. ive been looking for a fuse a relay or a fuse link? does anyone know anything about this? i think that by trying to crank her several times at low power i blew a fuse or something.

Shelby Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 main relay is in frt of the ecu on the pass side kick panel, but you can test it's operation several ways,, 1 at the fuel pump test lead,, 2 at the inj power feed,, 3 power to the CTS & tps , if all those things have power when the engine is being crank'd the main relay is working , fuel pump will only power up if the engine is cranking and the ign is sparking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Its an 87 so the ignitor might have died. If the fuse link is good ok but its the connections to the two terminals in that holder is where its dirty. If the tach isn't moving while cranking good chance that fuse link is dirty.

sharpertouch Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 i got to the main relay and replaced that also. still no fuel pump. ill check the link terminals now to make sure there clean and that i see the tach moving while cranking.

Indiana Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Did you get the battery charged? If there's not enough volts present while cranking the ECU won't let the pump turn on. 9volts is about the minumum. Spray some starter fluid into the pipe leading to the throttlebody while the throttle plate is open then reconnect the tube and see if it starts. You have have a stuck injector or dirty injector clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpertouch Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 BTW my car has a stand alone ECU and a megasquirt system. all seem to be functioning correctly. batt is new with full charge. ill check amperage tomorrow. also i did head gasket right before she sat for that month or two. but i did use the car for about a week or two before she sat.

sharpertouch Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 also does someone have an actual picture of the fuel pump check terminal plug thing. i see three possible plugs to put power to in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
