Ok so I installed a fuel pump rewire about two weeks ago and everything was fine so I dont know if its related or not but the other day I got in my car and none of the gauges worked and the check engine light was on as well as the ebrake and oil light it also said there was no fuel which I know there is. The car will start sometimes and then die right after like it runs outta fuel but if there is a problem with the fuel pump rewire kit why would the other lights be on. Also I have a apexi turbo timer and it is acting wierd ie letting the car run a little longer after I turn it off even without being engaged and it seems to be getting constant power which it should not be. It has been installed for two years with no problems. Any insight would help as I am pulling my hair out about this.
I took the TT out and still nothing. I cant even hear the fuel pump whine anymore when I turn the key. I am going to try and take the rewire kit off and see is that helps/
the fuel pump doesnt whine if i turn the key to on but if I try and start the car and turn it off then you can hear it run for a few seconds. Any ideas?
nope still doesnt work. It really seems like an electrical problem. I also put in a MBC awhile ago but It couldnt be that could it. PLease guys any ideas.
ummm find out y the fuel pump doesnt prime when u turn the key to the on position. are you sure u hear ur fuel pump when ur done cranking ur motor? maybe ur fuel pump is actually going bad. have u ever changed it? and has the fuel rewire kit actually been installed correctly?
ok so my mom was driving when this problem started appearently she drove the car everything was fine and she put in fuel everything was good. then she went to shut the car off and it ran for a few secs after and it did it again. Then she did her shopping and came out and the car fired right up but the gauges were not working and the engine light was on as well as oil pressure and ebrake but the car drove fine. When she got home I went to look at it and it wont even start it will crank but not fire. if I disconnect the battery I can get it to turn on for a few secs then it dies. WHen I put the key to the on position I cant even hear the fuel pump. I tried swapping computers disconnecting fuel pump rewire and tt and still same thing. Anyone have any other ideas?
Take the fuel pump out and test it.....your main problem seems to start there....the miles mean nothing and it doesnt matter if its the original pump, I've seen fuel pumps take a dump with less miles. One easy way to test is to disconnect a fuel line under the hood and see if fuel squirts out with the key in the on position. Make sure your getting power to the pump by checking the voltage to the fuel pump connector when the key is in the on position, if it is, take the pump out and supply voltage to it, if its not clicking like it should, there's your problem.
The only other thing I can honestly think of is contaminated fuel, might have a half a tank of water....u did say it started happening after you mom put fuel in it....bad fuel can kill your pump.
