Trying to help my friend get his '89 started. It ran fine way back about a year and a half ago, but now has no fuel pressure (rail is dry) and also we are having to cross the terminals on the solenoid to crank the motor. Starts up and runs perfect on starting fluid.
I was trying to locate the fuel pump relay and can't find any location info on it. The inertia switch is not tripped, I know that much. There is three relays up on the top of the firewall under the hood that are not it, according to Mitchell On-Demand(which for some reason won't tell me where it IS) Looking at a description of the system, it said the EEC relay has to energize in order for the fuel pump relay to recieve power...can't find any info about the EEC relay location either...it's like they are trying to make sure I'll never figure this out...
It mentioned grounding the "FP" terminal at the diagnostic connector to active the fuel pump without the relay, but again, no description of this connector and where it might be. I only see the "EEC test" connector on the firewall, and it has no markings on the terminals. There is a big plug that has several slots, then one all by itself, tan with a dark tracer I think (sorry can't remember exactly)...is that it?
Anyhow...any help? Gotta get this POS started so we can send it off to a new life with someone else under it's own power. Anyone want it? Great motor, new tranny, the rest of the car is garbage.
