old sub freak Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hey all ...My 84 hatchback has no power to the fuel pump..I think its the "roll over switch"..Its just above the hood latch,a little blue box...can these be bought or bypassed ? Thank you ,todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I never had an 84 - but none I had older or newer had a roll over switch. They do have control that shuts off the fuel pump if the engine stops running. You can bypass it to test, but I would not leave it bypassed.

el_freddo Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 When/how did you find out that there’s no power? ‘84 could be the year where they introduced the fuel cut relay. I’d be looking at this first. It’s a black box behind the kick panel above the driver’s feet. I’ve heard they can go bad but I’ve not experienced this myself. If your coil dies the fuel pump won’t work either. If your coil dies your ignition module dies too. Got a good coil and ignition module in there??

old sub freak Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hey Bennie ,coil is good.i can run it with power right from the battery to the fuel pump.But that little box by the hood latch is defective.I have had it happen before and some how bypassed it ..that was 15 years ago and i forgot how i did it..Just hoping someone has a fool proof plan ;{) Thank you ,todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
