No fuel to engine

[bobpurdy]

My 1992 Golf will not start. The fuel pump relay does not pull in. If the relay is bypassed, the engine starts and seems to run pretty well. I have 12 volts to the coil of the relay when the ignition is turned on but the relay does not pull in. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Try a new relay, they're inexpensive and an easy first fix attempt.

I found the problem. Someone had installed a switch in series with the coil of the fuel relay, I guess as a crude anti theft device. Turning the siwtch on fixed the problem.
