So I tore my intake manifold out to get to one of the bypass hoses, after I was done, I put it all together, and everything seems to be in working order, except now I turn the key to the run posistion and don't hear the usual two second "hum" off the pump.

So...Where do I start looking for the problem? I'm fairly sure that all the wiring connectors are in the right place. But anything specific that I could have f*cked up working with the IM/Throttle body?

Thanks.

I guess you can start with the relay...........

 

Yeah, check the reley and also check to make sure if you do/don't have fuel pressure...maybe it's just being quieter than usual.

Well that's what I'm worried about. My car is on a 250 lb. Diet. And obviously this includes the back seats, etc. I can hear the fuel pump when it's working plain as day.

Also, how would I go about checking the relay? I know where it is, but how do I test it?

Well if it had fuel pressure I imagine the car would start.

check your ground near the intake manifold.

then main relay.

then the fuse.

 

yea check the ground on thermostat housing, that was my problem last time i put my motor in

 

Cool. I'll do that and get back to you.

 

N00b question. Where exactly are the grounds for the Thermostat housing and the TB that you guys are speaking of?

Right below where the longer radiator hose connects to the intake manifold....and there's not one on the TB.
