2conquest Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Hello, I have had my conquest tsi for a little and I really love it but recently its been giving me a few problems and now it wont start. When I bought the tsi it had visible damage to the drivers rear panel, the previous owner said it wasn't affecting anything so no big deal right? Wrong. Lol. So I was driving and under acceleration it seemed to hesitate so I turned around and started heading home then bam!! Car dies, no sputtering or warning. I got it towed home pulled off the tank and wouldnt you know it the neck to the tank was severed and the fuel pump stopped flowing (probably from the lack of vapor/ fuel). I have since then dropped the tank on both my conquests and and swapped the fuel pump from my '86 --> '89 along with everything else that needed replacing. Now this is where I'm stuck.. I can hear my pump turn on now and i put gas in the tank (half to a 3rd of a tank) but it still wont turn over. Any ideas info or just where to go from here would be a great help. Oh I did not prime the pump because i knew the pump is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2conquest Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 It was a bad connection at a spliced connection near the fuse box that I hadn't seen before. Also the previous owner had a mess of fan wires and general wires stuffed near the battery so i cleaned them up and boom, she started right up. The previous owner is a student at one of the big automotivehttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png schools and it was pretty clear that he was in over his head with this one but I haven't gotten to the bottom of the barrel yet still plenty to do.

2conquest Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Hope that helps someone! I do need help figuring out the wiring for the fans. I tried looking for info but found nothing so sorry if its covered in another forum topic. The problem im having is when the key is on the accessories setting 2 of my fans kick on but my 2nd puller fan is not turning on even after longer trips. I tried energizing the fan but that stops the other fan from working and puts the energized fan into a crawl. Last thing to ask is anyone else motor burning hot after a few minutes of driving? I plan on testing oil pressure (the needle reads zero) but on the dip stick it shows there is oil and the leaks from some parts (oil pressure sender) seem like that shows flow of oil. Thank you for the help in advance Edited October 18, 2015 by 2conquest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
