Two suggestions
1. Ignore the previous reply. The O2 sensor is not is the fuel pump path.
2. Try a Search, this question has come up before.

The relay is located near the firewall behind the battery, there is a plastic sheild which can be easily removed to access the relays. The fuel pump relay will be next to the Klima relay and the OVP (smaller with a fuse on top). More details can be found with a search but a quick check would be to remove the fuel pump relay and jumper pins 7 & 8 to see if you can hear the fuel pumps running.

Whee dogies
Thank you, thank you to those that helped me. Pulled the fp relay and jumpered pins 7 & 8 to hear the fuel pumps. After reading about others with similar problems and how some of the solder connections were bad on several I took out the board and sure enough, the first solder connection to the board, opposite the incoming pin 7 or 8(?) was bad. Touched it up and voila, she started right up.
Saved a tow job to the garage, an overpriced part, and 5 minutes to put it in, for a total of proably $250-300. |
