hp006 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I have another thread stating there's no electric spark at the plugs. I think my sister is blind as i got someone else to do the ignition and there is spark when i looked. As there's spark i can only work on the assumption that no fuel is being pumped. Is there an easy way to check if the pump has failed. On switching to acc i cant hear anything in the pump area? I have checked the fuses and they are all in tack. The pump has only covered 3-400 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Bridge the terminals in the diagnostic port to run the fuel pump full time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 FP and B+ (they are labelled under the lid). Turn the ignition on and it will run the pump. Make sure you use a decent gauge wire and don't leave it running too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hp006 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Did the test this morning, nothing happened not a peep out the pump. As i have said before the pump is not that old. Would it seize that much if not used for a 8 months. The pump has only covered 500 miles since new. I have checked th fuel ignition fuses under the bonnet are there any other fuses i can check still struggling to believe its the fuel pump although thats what everything is pointing to.

Chris Wilson Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Check at the pump connector on the tank fitting for power when the terminals are bridged. i have seen uprated pumps draw so much current the connector pins get hot enough to melt the plastic plug and socket and the connection fails there. Next step then, if all is OK there, is to take the pump out and refit the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
