Why does my fuel pump not have enough pressure?
Some pumps may develop adequate fuel pressure when the engine is at idle or running at low speed, but the pump isn’t spinning fast enough to keep up with the engine’s fuel requirements at higher speeds. This causes the fuel mixture to lean out and the engine to misfire or lose power.
When do I turn ignition on fuel pump keeps running?
I don’t think anywhere in the thread he has said that the engine is turning over, only the hum of a motor running, which is most likely the fuel pump. However, he still should be able to get the engine to turn over with the starter, unless the battery voltage is low and the voltage circuit in the starter relay is keeping it from activating.
Can a bad fuel pressure regulator cause an engine to not start?
It would be wise to check the batteries before considering a failure in the fuel pressure regulator. It is also possible that the engine will not start because of issues in the alternator. There are other potential causes why an engine does not start. One of these is a faulty fuel pressure regulator.
What should fuel pressure be when no Buzz?
Fuel pressure is typically in the 35 to 45 psi range. If your Anti-Theft light is flashing; the anti-theft system is disabling the fuel pump to prevent the engine from starting. Bad fuel pump (Pump should run for a few seconds when ignition key is turned to start, no buzz means no fuel delivery to the engine).
What to do if your fuel pump won’t start?
Ugh…..I hate chasing down electrical problems. If jumping the fuel pump relay makes the pump run, and if the relay tests good. Then you need to determine why the ECM is not telling the relay to close. Start by testing continuity back to the ECM.

Why is my fuel pump relay not working?
I have replaced the fuel pump relay oil pressure switch and computer. If you’re not getting a signal for fuel, then you either have a faulty crank sensor, or bad ignition module. But the truck runs great until you cut it off. If you poor a little gas in the intake to get it started would that only effect the starting ? Ok.
Why does my car have no fuel pressure?
Many people recognize this sound every time they start the car but don’t realize it is the fuel pump running. If you “DO NOT” hear the buzz of the fuel pump; then your engine has no fuel pressure, and we need to see why. The first thing you want to do is check the fuse panel to see if the fuse is blown.
