Fuelling Problem

[nt_a_foz]

Yep no fuel delivery...

And my mate checked the power delivery last night and reckoned it wasnt there at the pump biut i want to double check myself.

I tested tonight with ignition on and i had 2 wires with constant power

[Guest boostin]

Tried swapping the pump out of the wagon?

[nt_a_foz]

The pump works i took out and hoooked up straight to the battery

[Guest boostin]

The pickup isn't blocked?

[Guest]

pumps often run with no load !! but wont go under load (ie pressure supply )

Is one of the power feeds only there at crank and initial ign turn on ?

[Guest]

there are two heavier gauge wires in the loom plug under the rear seat

One ( black with red trace from memory ) is the power feed from pump relay

the other ( black ) is earth !

[nt_a_foz]

I suppose i could swap the pump setups to try it???

I havent tested ignition turnoff myself but the boys were on the multimeter last night and reckoned there was no power there.

But when i tested tonight jsut with ignition (by myslef so cant do ignition as well) it was showing 2 wires with power one with 10.8v and the other with 6 or so volts

Yup those 2 were under there when i looked tonight...What baout them??

[Guest]

test them for power and earth !!

[nt_a_foz]

When i tested with constant power (ignition on) tonight at both plug under rear seat and pump it had the same power

[Guest]

pump power is only feed from the relay when the engine is running or intial prime for 2 sec when key turned to ign on !!

[Guest boostcut]

whats with all of the !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he knows that already, i just told him 2 mins ago.

[Guest]

you just told him, well my crystal ball didnt know that !!

Boosty, can you not see that i am trying to help some one here, with step by step logical process

[Guest boostcut]

[Guest]

Awesome

[Guest boostcut]

id be happy to meet you, but 1, i work and 2, i googled you name. it came back with this http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.subaru.co.nz/images_articles/1098_Wheeler_2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.subaru.co.nz/About_Subaru/News/index.php%3Farticle%3D1098&usg=__9yoUPRcU3Bp2aQjLcXXzkhQgpNs=&h=224&w=300&sz=31&hl=en&start=15&um=1&tbnid=wQFiBk3Gpp1JXM:&tbnh=87&tbnw=116&prev=/images%3Fq%3Drick%2Bwheeler%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-nz:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7SKPB_en%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1

you look about 3 times my age. get a fricken life dude

[Guest]

OK

I have a life and its proven in that article, gee boosty maybe i actually know what im taking about

Seems you just dont like me helping people around here, really should I care if guys cant fix there own cars, why do i bother even messaging others with proven advice and offers of help

Accept the fact that on somethings I know more than you (ie Subaru's ) and other things you know more than me ( ie hydraulic hoses and fittings )

If i went on a hydraulic hose web forum and started being a COK then I would be the MUPPET

I owe U a crack to so becareful

and u can google me all u like

[nt_a_foz]

Alright boys calm down.....

Adam what you doing tonight???I need antoher set of hands to test the pump feed...

Girls will get bored of that in like 3.5seconds haha

Might try swap the pump 2...

If theres anything else that crosses your mind ichi let me know im open to all ideas as starting to get a bit annoyed with it lol

[Guest]

Testing wiring alone can be fun

try and start the car, after cranking it listen for the pump relay to "click" out, approx 2 sec after you have been cranking

This will tell you if ECU is operating the pump relay - this eliminates a whole heap of things and narrows down your search

run a direct power feed to the pump from the battery into the pump wiring plug

and run a seperate earth also. if pump still no go then replace it !

have sent you a pm with my contact # if you want to call

[DRFVDR]

Also are u testing the power at then plug under rear seat with the pump plugged in ????

if so try it with out as the volts u are seeing on the earth maybe a return form the pump

[nt_a_foz]

I was testing the plug under the rear seat on the engine side not hte pump side so that shouldnt be a problem should it??

That was what i was going to do last night but didnt have a long enugh bit of wire...Might do that tonight..

I swapped the pumps this morning before work and it didnt do anything either..

[Guest itsgotgo]

Did you test it at the link brad?..not that i now half as much as the other guys here

I never knew sorting a fuel problem could be such a wee,ing match.

[nt_a_foz]

Nah not yet...

Adam and Brenton are going to come round again tonight and well try sus it out..

Im pretty sure itl be a wiring issue....Just a pain in the arse more than anything just want the bloody thing to go so i can take it for a wof haha

Edit : 1994cc post lol

[Guest itsgotgo]

Be carefull leaving brenton near it.......he breaks things ha ha ;D 8)
