I have a 74 2.0L original FI and the fuel pump has been moved to the front trunk. I converted to the in and out style (75-76).
My fuel pump used to go on for 2 seconds to prime, then off until cranking or running. I know this is how it is supposed to work. Mine now is on constant with the key in aux position (before starting/cranking or running) What controls this? The computer? I also have only 7 volts to the pump and 9 volts at the fuse on the relay board that pump power goes through. Good 12+ volts at battery. Finally to the question: Does the computer control this 2 second prime? |

Finally to the question: Does the computer control this 2 second prime? Yes, the brain controls the ground for the pump relay to do the 2 second prime ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) So, can I deduct if that is not happening there is a problem with my brain ecu? Do you know the wiring (battery to fuel pump)? I traced it from the fuel pump to the main harness coming through the firewall to the relay board. Guessing the brain interacts with the relay board to control the FP relay? |

So, can I deduct if that is not happening there is a problem with my brain ecu? Not necessarily--it is more likely that when you moved the pump you didn't hook into the original wiring. The original wiring goes: Battery to relay board, through fuse on board, through relay to pump. And pump directly to ground, because that's also important. The relay is controlled by the FI brain, and also by the relay that powers the FI. --DD |
