Loyale testing fuel pump

Featured Replies

Need to know any info on testing fuel pump, lack of fuel is the reason. if I put some fuel in up top she starts up for a few seconds, I also drained the fuel filter and nothing is coming through the lines. I had the car on an empty take on an angle all summer sitting.

Try rapping on the fuel pump with something like a screwdriver handle.  Sometimes it will get it going again.  If the problem persists then you may need a new fuel pump.

 

Lines could also be fouled but unlikely.  I've let mine sit  for two years and it still fired up with new fuel.

Connect the green connectors under the hood by the driver side strut tower. Turn the key on. the pump should cycle every 3 seconds and you should hear the relay clicking

Thanks for the help!! that worked, checked with the wires, no action, so I banged on it a little and she started to work!

Be ready to replace the fuel pump, it may do this again.

 

The sitting may be why, so it might keep working.

Yes, since it started working again after banging on it simply tells you that the pump needs to be replaced.

I think it was the long time sitting on an angle for almost 5 months, plus being on an empty, empty tank.
