I'm trying to get my car started and need a source/seller of a fuel pump for a '73 1.7 car. Anybody have one, or where do I source that?

you might find a used one here in the classifieds.
a newer pump from your local flaps (friendly local auto parts store) can be retrofitted with some modification to the stock fuel lines. some recent threads here regarding that. we're still talking f.i. in you teener? |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i983.photobucket.com-17068-1394825872.1.jpg) You're going to need these http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/914_electrical_diagrams.htm http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...;p=1747593& Missing relay looks to be for the optional rear window defogger relay Is the car missing a fuel pump or is the fuel pump just not turning on? Your fuel pump relay looks all "wonky" like someone ripped the top off (bottom left corner of the board, just above the white 4 pin plug) |

Yes, the fuel pump relay has had it's top broken, good eye. I flip-flopped the relays and the pump sounds like it is making noise now.
hmmmm..... |

... FI car ... what am I looking at here? Am I missing a relay here? If you look at the pins of the 14 pin plug at the "top" of the relay board, you can see that pins 12 and 14 connect to the battery so they are a source of +12VDC. Pin 13 goes to the fuel pump so it supplies +12VDC to the pump. If you could connect +12VDC from the battery to the wire to the pump, you basically directly connect the pump to the battery. This can be done by connecting connection 87, one of the pins of the fuel pump relay, to pin 30 also of the fuel pump relay. An alternative I had to use was connect 87 to the "hot" side of the 25 amp fuse (the "hot" side is the terminal of the fuse to pin 14 of the 14 pin connector). This is a little bit convenient because you can attach an alligator clip to the fuse mount (the hot side). You could also just jump the pins 30 and 87 of your relay that is open after you remove the guts and plug it in. |

the relay you had was good when you turned the key on the test light lit brightly.
I still suspect the fuel pump. also the local FLAPS tried to tell us that Fuel Injection systems only ran at 10 psi, it was just not worth fighting it out with him. |

If you push down on the flat metal piece at the top of that uncovered relay, the fuel pump should run. Key on or no. It's a way to test the pump and wires.
