Thank you for you input.. The only thing is that I'm not quite sure if the wire colors are the same because it is a switch in a different location that was rigged up by somebody else. I have had very limited time today and got to check a few wires and found that only one wire had power to the...

My top is currently in the down position and won't go back up. This is the info I have gathered: -Fuse is good and I have power to the switch (only one wire going to the switch has power) -In the back relays in my trunk, I only have power in the black/yellow wires (but it looks like they are...

what was wrong?? Im having fuel pump problems myself.

This is what you need to do... Charge the battery and start the car. If you have a voltmeter you can test the battery terminals to see if the are losing juice (do to the alternator draining it). If the alternator is good, your battery will consistently have 12 volts. If the battery is being...

thank you

Im thinking I fried my computer so I would like to know what computers would work for my car. It's an 89 vert with mass air. Thank you

I understand what you are saying and I am troubleshooting. I just want to know things for sure before I blow more money on parts. Through troubleshooting it comes down to the computer, and I just wanted an opinion before I went to buy one. I do appreciate your help, thanks

anyone have any input? I could only get my fuel pump to kick on when I grounded the diagnostic connector. Could this be because maybe my computer is not supplying a ground to the fuel pump relay??

ok, this is what I got... I jumped the diagnostic connector to ground with the key on and did hear my fuel pump run. I started the car and it fired right up. Then I unplugged the ground from the diagnostic connector under the hood and then started the car again. I unhooked my ground cable and...

when I am checking for voltage at the pink/black wire I have the key on. I noticed jrichter said something about jumping the fuel pump test connector to ground. If I don't do that will I not find juice at the pink/black wire?? I just want to get things straight before I go buy another fuel...

thats the only thing that makes sense, but my relay is brand new... I have power to all the correct wires for my fuel pump relay except the pink/black. If I follow Jrichter's troubleshooting list, it says if the pink/black has no power then it's my fuel pump relay. Is it possible for me to get a...

anyone?

Not quite sure on how much it's worth..But it would be very very close if you want it on pump gas and your timing will have to be low and octane high. Mine is 12:1 and I even had my heads milled a little on top of that and I run on 93 octane with no sign of detonation. Keep us posted

Ok, I checked out all of the wires again. The only wire that doesn't have juice would be my pink/black wire coming from my fuel pump relay going to my fuel pump. That should mean that my fuel pump relay is bad, BUT my fuel pump relay is brand new. I have juice to all of the correct wires and I...

Will do. I'm sure I will be back with questions haha. Thanks Jrichker

I would say my reason of the car not starting would be the fuel pump b/c when I turn the key on it does not prime. Right now I am trying to go through the fuel pump checklist and I am coming up with power everywhere except the tan/ light green wire that comes out of my fuel pump relay.

anyone?

thanks jrichter.. I was reading a post you have left on my last topic about the fuel pump and it said something about if you cross the battery terminals it can kill your computer. I would think splicing a ground into a power wire would do the same effect. I checked all of the wires that go to my...

yes I did..all are good

I was wiring in my Autometer gauges and I screwed up. Long story short, I spliced a power wire to a ground wire by accident. I turned the key over but not on and it was smoking down that wire. Now my car won't start. I don't hear my fuel pump prime and I checked the relay(which is good) and the...
