Hi 12Ounce Thanks for the reply.
No sweat taking the tank down again this will be the third time so I'm sure I can beat my last record easily. WD-40'd everything that moves under there.
However----touching a pos. and neg. to the pump as it sits in an empty gas tank --- Full of fumes --- isn't going to happen around here.
The warning should read "Explosion" just before fire.
I did blow air through the filter and it is fine.
The problem is no pressure coming
from the tank.
When I put this last pump in it did come on for a few seconds initially just like the first time I tried to start this beast with the original pump. They both produced enough pressure to cause a slight blast at the Schrader Valve when I depressed the pin.
After that they produced no pressure at all.
That is why I did the pump change.
Well that and I followed power back as for as the line to the pump coming out of the Inertia Switch. I figured the pump had power so it must be busted which I'm now thinking was wishful thinking.
I followed the fuel line back to the fuel tank and see there is no pressure coming out of the tank/pump and the pump is not staying on longer than it takes to make a click.
These are both Ford pumps not made in China ones so I am really thinking some module that is speaking falsely to the pump, probably the EWM, ex-wife module.
(I'd call it something more colorful but this may be a family forum!!)
I will test the pump again but have you ever come across a fouled electrical/computerized thingy that can do this?
I read in one forum that rain can get in some and do this sort of damage especially the ones under the wiper cowl.
And to a vehicle that sat for a while like this one did.
By the way, since this is a two line system do I need to bleed the air out of the line when I get it working again? Because there is air in these lines now.
thanks a plenty.
