Just changed my fuel pump and fuel filter Nevada car would turn over but wouldn't start has spark. But still won't start any suggestions on what it may be or how i can check the pump is pumping fuel?

[Pauly]

pull the output line off the pump.....

[Pauly]

ohhh and try to start it. make sure u pull ur coil lead off too and point the output line to the ground..

[Pauly]

did u check the pump before fitment???

[zooky08]

is the fuel pump pumping fuel, if not make sure you have that shaft/pin in place that moves the fuel pump arm. sorry if this is hard to understand

woops my bad well if he finds out its not pumping then check the pin

[steve]

is it carby or efi? Did you put the pump around the right way? What's a Nevada car?

yeah pull the line off and turn the key and see if it pumps out all over your engine. (maybe point it away )

If its not an EFI pump

[royce]

Its injected yeah?

stick a test light into teh power plug at teh tank end, youll need somebody to crank while you watch to see if you have power there (ecu only powers it while the engine is turning more or less)

if you have power you should be able to hear the pump whir if you stick your ear to teh tank, if you dont, start at the fuse and see if you can hear the relay clicking above the accelorator pedal

it will take a while to prime and get up to pressure but not long enough to think something is wrong

[Pauly]

the pins dont normally just fall out but you never know. btw the pin is in the head and will move out slightly etc etc. let us know how u go.

[Pauly]

o could be efi too good point.... you will hear the pump priming also.... kick the tank too.....

[zooky08]

if its efi then theres no pin cos the pump is attach to the tank not the head?

[Pauly]

agreeded

Why can't ya do that?

[Pauly]

too much pressure, you can but yeah not recommoded

[steve]

ahh is that all, well too late anyway

[royce]

there is no ppressure if its jsut dribbling out a hose

anyway with injected you jsut pull the bung on teh front of the rail and let it spew all over the radiator

[Pauly]

so whats the go? any test tried? ?? got it started yet?

[Pauly]

id say faulty pump or fitment error (fuse blow etc etc)

[royce]

I am aiming towards an electrical problem making the old pump stop to begin with

[Pauly]

good point... fuse, shit contacts on pump.. earth problem,
is the car standard engne ecu etc?

[zooky08]

or he has fixed it and has'nt told us, and is now out wheeling the crap out f his car

[Pauly]

mmm bastard....

[dave07]

Well fuses are all good but pump isn't whirling or anything must be electrical just has to figure out where the problem is

[royce]

test light, check for power at the pump and work forward, the fuel pump relay might be the green plug, cant remember

[Fatzook]

As royce said. Look for the fuel pump relay. I can't remember if it has the green plug or not, but it does have 2 or 3 pink wires leading into it.

If you can't here is clicking on and off to let the fuel pump prime, then something is amiss with the relay.
