long story...
just replaced my fuel pump with a 255 walbro unit last night. Also added a 6AL, coil and super conductors.
At first, fuel pump wouldnt prime at all. Dropped the tank (did it 6 times in the last 2 days) and made sure all connections were good on the pump itself.
Then i reviewed the "cranks but wont start" checklist, grabbed my multimeter and dug into EVERYTHING.
first off, no power to the connector at the fuel tank. So i checked the inertia switch and was only getting 2v with key on. Had a friend turn the key while i probed and ended up with more volts. So the inertia switch is also functional.
Moved up the relay.
Pink wire has 11.8, so it works. i removed the relay and jumped a few wires and was able to start the car, but obviously cant drive it that way.
replaced relay just to try it and it still didnt crank. A few random times the car started and just died after 15-30 seconds. Didnt sputter out, just instantly died.
Relay by MAF is functional and was clicking on and off when i was "jumping" the connector under the drivers seat.
does this sound like a bad EEC relay?
ive been working on this since 2pm yesterday.. starting to pull my hair out
