A bunch of you guys threw in some good suggestions on my "92 Dead on the Side of the Road" thread. I followed them as best as my limited mechanical and electrical ability would allow, but now we've come down to the wire.
I finally gave in, siphoned and dropped the tank. The fuel pump was dead. I can kinda see why since it's always getting voltage. Key out it gets 7.2 or so. Key on, sharing the load with the other electrical components 1.1. The battery shows 12.4 WTF?? I'd already replaced the fuel pump relay and the eec relay. I think the code reader said error 542 Circuit open, PCM to motor. We had posts of people saying their relays were stuck open, but that doesn't seem to be it this time.
I need a quick fix. They're working on the firehouse and I've gotta get this truck out of the way ASAP. Anyone else got any ideas? I'm thinking of bypassing the fuels electrical altogether. Any suggestions as to where you would hook up if you didn't want to use a dedicated switch, but wanted it to only come on with key turned in ignition?
Ground?
