fuel pump running on

[sjhm9102]

the car wont start i tried to read the codes but the only lights on the dash is brake and battery no check engine light no blinks and fuel pump wont stop running when trying to start

Does your CEL prove-out?

Did you jump the self test connector incorrectly, instead grounding the FP relay's coil? This allows the pump to run anytime the key is on.

no ii havent done anything to the car i just went out one mornin and turned the key and the fuel pump wouldnt stop priming and no start i tried the to pull the codes like it says here in the forum thats when i noticed i had no engine light at all its either the computer or the fuel pump relay

Does it stay running even with the key out? If so get a new fuel pump relay.

 

[sjhm9102]

no just with the key in the on position or start

Again, does the CEL prove-out?

i dont know how to check the cel

i dont know how to check the cel

i found it on search nm jrichker but its a test for early models with no engine light

My '92 is doing the same thing. I'm about to post my testing results. Look for "I think my '92 EEC is bad" to see what I did and the replies I get.

The same method works for the MAF cars as the SD (no functional CEL) cars. This is where you need to be starting.

Proving-out is when the various warning lights illuminate when you first turn the key on. This lets you know the circuit functions and the light is operative. If your CEL doesn't prove out, the bulb might be burned out. You can replace the bulb or use an alternate method of code retrieval.

going to the dealer monday 90$$ diagnosis ill let you know what happens besides gettin screwed

i tried th alternate method of code still nothin

 

[HISSIN50]

What did the dealership tell you?

I didnt see you answer the question about if your CEL functions at all, nor did you discuss issues you had with alternate methods of code pulling.

 

[sjhm9102]

the cel does not prove out and the test light method doesnt work either the dealer just told me to bring it in imma try a different test light today it doesnt make any sence

Some things to check if codes won't pull.

You will also probably want to replace the CEL bulb.

Good luck.

i decided to pull the computer and found a blown blue thing inside as well as some over heating ill have to do more research on why this happen
