My fuel pump isn't turning on. I used a voltmeter to check voltage at end of connection and their is some. And I even put in a different fuel pump and still nothing. Anyone have any ideas that could help me out? Thanks

eddie422

did u check the relay i had a big problem with my old integra and it happened to be the relay was burned out sometimes with it got too hot then it just finally went on me check that

Wouldn't it have to be ok though if its getting voltage at the connection to the pump?

vartok

you said "some" voltage. how much is some?

rx_86

Before I replaced pump it was at 12.20 now I just chacked it and its at 13.10

vartok

well, fuel pumps are just on or off, so, it its getting atleast 12v everything is good until that point. the different pump you tryed, was it known to be working or did you pull it form a "pick-n-pull" yard?

Main relay

Place off of ebay where they pull parts from wrecked hondas and acuras

If I hold the relay when I turn the key on I feel it click

92civicvxd16z6

how many clicks do you feel?

rx_86

One when I turned the key on. And one when I turn it off

check the ground to ur engine, i had a problem with mine the ground didn't get a good connection

All the suggestions make no sense, he is obviously getting power at the pump, meaning the main relay is working. 12 volts is plenty enough as well as 13 volts that your getting.

ARE you not aboe to start your car? does it sputter on acceleration? CAn you hear the pump prime when you switch the key to the on position.

if not the the main relay, some times the fuel pump itself does go. I've had it happen

rx_86

No the pump doesn't prime. Makes no noise at all when I turn key on. I've already replaced it with another one

rx_86

Just checked it again and now the voltage is around 11.80 its under 12.00 when its cooler out and over 12.00 when its warm outside

vartok

get some jumper wire and tap the power on the battery and see if the pump does anything... if not, the pump is bad

rx_86

How do u do that

vartok

pull the pump back out (actually i would test the old one too) get some random peices of with and just touch them to the post of the battery and see if the pump turns on... do not do it more than an instant, you will blow a pump by running it not pumping anything

rx_86

One wire from positive and one wire from negative?

This may seem really simple, and i am NOT a mechanic-type at all.

I am not even sure if hondas have this feature, but..... (cheap easy try)

Disconnect your battery for 30 seconds. then try.

There is a safety feature/anti theft thingy where it will shut off your fuel pump. You can take the car to a dealer and have them reset it (costs an assload) or simply try the battery trick.

**agian, i am not a mechanic and do not know if this is a hidden feature on Hondas. it is on 2000 saturns and mid 90's buick boats.***

vartok

yes... not sure which connection is which though... what year is it and ill look it up

OLDladyINaSOL

sure seems the ol"battery reset" would be much easier............

vartok

true, i but i know the EGs (92-95) dont have anything at all like that.... granted, it couldnt hurt but....
