mgcwrnch Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 New to the forum here. Had BRATS, now a Turbo Wagon. Given to me, with not to much input from PO. Trying to get started. Have spark, compression, sounds good on the starter. Fuel pump not running on key start. Does run with pressure when jumped. No injector click when on start. Checked fusible links, OK. Fuses OK on the ignition on position. Where should I look for a relay or other item not working ?? All help really appreciated.

mikaleda Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 i don't know if this is the same on the turbos, but i know on old gen wagons there should be a relay right above the hood latch. it is for safety in case of an accident it will cut fuel. i believe the relay is black or blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naru Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Codes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgcwrnch Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Could not figure out how to pull codes. Disconnected the plug, nothing came up that showed codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naru Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Connect the greens under the dash to read codes from the ECU LED. I would check the ignition and fuel pump relays under the passenger seat for power and function, Fuses and fusible links too, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 You stated that the fusible links were ok but if didn't verify that good power was getting to each side of them then you need to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgcwrnch Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Did not find any relays or anything under the passenger seat or drivers seat. Do find two relays in engine compartmant over the passenger front wheel. Are these for the fuel pump or injectors ?? Cannot identify from manuals. Found no relay near the fuse block, only the seat belt relay, silver, round, having four pins. Any help or clarification ?? Sure would like to hear it fire up !!

turbosubarubrat Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 is this a ea81t? if it is check above the fuse box and you will find a few. also you should make a build thread like i have for my 83 turbo wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgcwrnch Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Found the answer !! Relays under the passenger seat, under carpet were rusted beyond function. Replaced both from Oreillys, at half the NAPA price. Plugged in, started up !! Runs fine. Just needs a little limbering up. Thanks to all that helped.
