The Fuel Relay, checked with the key on has 12v at 30/51 and 12v at pin 86.
I do not get 12v at pin 87 at any time, which according to John Muir's book
means the relay is not good.
I just purchased this relay from Jim, guess I will need to locate one and
try another to see if the pump will pump. I do not hear a click or feel anything
from the relay under the dash.
Jim, do you have another relay that I can get or can anyone tell me a source
for this relay. I can return the one you sent if you would like to check it
out and maybe I am doing something wrong. Please advise me, I need to get this
car running!
Thank you, >>
Before you go out and buy another relay, run this check with the key on. Go
into the engine compartment, and on the front wall (front is front), on the
left side there should be a wire with a plastic cover on it. Unplug the
connector, and ground the wire (car side) while listening for the pump. If the pump
runs, then the front relay is probably good, but either the harness to the ECU
has a break in it, or the ECU took a dump. I ran into this at the end of March
while working on my 71 Roadster, and solved it by replacing the ECU, since I
had already checked the wiring harness (it was good). I hope this helps.
