Fuel Pump Relay????

[geverhart]

My 1992 Ford Taurus randomly shuts off or will not start. I notice when I try to restart I cannot hear the fuel pump running. It takes about 10-60 secs to reset and restart. Thought it might be fuel pump relay, but I don't know where it is located. Could it be the ignition switch??


Thanks,
Gregg Everhart

Check to see if it has spark. The distributor module (gray or back box) on the side of the distibutor has a habit of shutting down... usually afer warm and restarts after it cools down. If that is it make sure you get a motorcraft part and use plenty of die electric compound when you put the new one on.
hope this helps

I cant' find the relay on my 1992 Taurus either! Did you ever find one on yours?... If so...where!? Where,where,where?

Thanks

The fuel pump relay is incorporated into the Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM) under the hood mounted to the radiator support. The box will probably be black metal and have a wide, 2-row gray 24 terminal connector plugged in to it. This module includes the relays for the fuel pump, A/C compressor clutch, cooling fan high speed and low speed, and powers the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

Hey Rod,
Thanks a million for your reply. I was starting to believe that indeed the relay was part of that Constant Control Relay box, but some ding dong at AutoZone sold me a fuel pump relay and I spend half a day trying to figure out where to plug it in. In the mean time I dropped the gas tank and pulled the fuel pump and put volts to it and it runs fine. I also tested for continuity at the inertia switch and found no juice, so I figured the fuel pump would be good, but checked it anyway. That leaves the Constant Control box, which I think is a dealer item. Oh well, my 12 dollar fix is now a 200 dollar fix, such is life. Is there any thing else you would look for before changing out that Constant Control Box?
The EEC computer is new.
Thanks again,

As a matter of fact, there is. I'm too lazy tonight to copy and paste or retype the text, so check out the thread at http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=429520
