Ok, so this might be a dumb question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway. How do I go about bench testing a fuel pump?? It is one of the 3 port type for my 74.. how do I connect it up?? Is there anything that I should do to prep it?? I thought I had seen somewhere in here about submerging it in gas for a bit??? Picture of where the connections would go to do the test?? HELP!!!

You don't submerge the pump.
You an however test to see if it will work. Multimeter set ot read Ohm's measure across the two terminals. Then you can hook 12V to it and let it spin for a fraction of a second (don't want to run it dry very long) Then put it in the car hook it up and put gas in the tank. it will work so go drive it. |
