1987.5 -EA82T- fuel pump relay?

Featured Replies

hey everyone,

 

this has been happening every time I start my 87.5 GL turbo recently.. as soon as I turn the ignition on to pressurize fuel, there's a relay above the boost solenoid that steadily clicks and keeps the pump going and doesn't stop pumping until I start it. I don't know what it is but would assume its the fuel pump relay since my 87.1 RX doesn't get fuel unless I use the one from my GL. what I'm trying to find out is where I can get one, because everywhere I've searched I cannot find it.

 

the only numbers/letters on it are- JECS A15-000R00 (stamped) and 7413NA (black ink)

 

 

Have got a pair of bright green connectors joined under the dash?

If so, they're check connectors & shouldn't be joined during normal driving.

sorry, I cant get a pic up. its an aluminum cased relay on the very top of passenger side strut tower in the front

 

if you search -Subaru A15-000R00- on google pictures, the first pic looks just like it. the plug has 5 or 6 connectors, ill see for sure later today

That part is the dropping resitor for the Injector power.  It's not a relay so I don't know how it would be clicking??

 

Are you sure the Boost control solenoid isn't the one clicking???

I'm gonna take it all apart later today and make sure which one is making the sound

 

the fuel pump doesn't stop pumping if I just leave the key on without it running.. like it doesn't stop once pressurized

Don't be too worried if the pump is continuing to run. The fuel will just circulate around the system. There was a problem with the earthing of the fuel pump on the pre 87 models. Dunno about the later models, Aus never got a turbo post 87

This isn't correct.  Something is powering the pump just by the key.

 

Check the fuel pump relay....green connector above the column.......next to the ignition relay.......it may be stuck or jumpered.

if i swap the part i was talking about between my turbo cars, that Gloyale said was the dropping resistor for injectors, it doesnt click at all and i dont get any fuel

 

-im pretty sure the one from my parts car is bad, but it doesnt click like my original does

If you have the Green test connectors hooked up it will cycle the fuel pump and the Boost controll solenoid continually.
