Why is there no power from the fuel pump?
There is no power from the main relay at all from the black/yellow wire at the fuel pump relay plug. So…either somehow both my main relays went bad at the same time, or, more likely, there is an issue farther up the line…either ECU (AEM) or connection. I did test the Black/Yellow wire between the main relay and fuel pump relay and it’s good.
Is the fuel pump relay getting any power?
-So, the relay is getting power, has a fine connection to the fuel pump, and seems to be getting the correct signal from the main relay to kick on and off. Any ideas?
Where to check for no start fuel pump?
The first thing you want to do is check the fuse panel to see if the fuse is blown. If your car has two fuse panels than the one in the engine compartment; should be the correct one to check. The fuse panel or circuit box is usually located near the battery; and is a small black box with a removable lid.
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.
Is there no power to the fuel pump?
No power to the fuel pump and the fuel relay is not getti… Q: No power to the fuel pump and the fuel relay is not getting power. My car has 190000 miles.
Why is my fuel pump not turning on?
Thanx. Try swapping the fuel pump relay with another one, that will truly rule out it being the relay. fuel pump gets ignition, nothing to do with ecm as far as power is considered, sounds like a fault contact on the relay, possibly fuse box, check grounds aand for corrosion

What causes a fuel pump to die before filling up?
If you make a habit of running your tank all the way to empty before filling up; your fuel pump will most likely die before its designed lifespan. This is due to the fact that when you shut off the engine with a low fuel level; the fuel can drain from the priming chamber designed into the fuel delivery system.
How can I tell if my fuel pump is failing?
Check the fuel pump fuse. Often, it’s not the pump itself that fails to function, but the power that supplies it. Check in your owner’s manual for the location of the fuse box, then find the fuse that corresponds to the fuel pump. Pull it out and inspect it for signs of failure.
How can I get my fuel pump to come on?
-If I remove the relay and place a jumper wire between the Yellow/12V wire to the Black/Red/Fuel pump wire, the fuel pump comes on when I switch on the ignition and the car will start/run just fine. The only difference is that it doesn’t just prime and then shut off after a couple seconds when the car is just switched on.
What causes the fuel pump not to come on?
Too much fuel into the fuel injectors can cause them to break down and fail, while too little of it can lead to the fuel pump not turning on. In order to maintain a proper mixture of air and fuel, a proper pressure of fuel is required, which is balanced with the help of a fuel pressure regulator.
Will fuel pump run if fuel pump relay is bad?
If the fuel pump relay has an issue while the vehicle is operating it will cut off power to the fuel pump, which will cause the engine to stall . A faulty relay may allow the vehicle to be restarted a short while later, while a completely failed relay will not.
What powers the fuel pump?
The fuel pump relay is what turns on the fuel pump when you start your car and powers it down when you shut off the ignition. The engine control module (ECM) uses the fuel pump relay to control when the fuel pump is on. The fuel pump relay supplies electricity to power up and power down the fuel pump.
Is the fuel pump OK?
Though electrical components (such as a fuel pump) can spark and ignite fuel vapors, liquid fuel will not explode (see flammability limit) and therefore submerging the pump in the tank is one of the safest places to put it. In most cars, the fuel pump delivers a constant flow of gasoline to the engine; fuel not used is returned to the tank.
