Ok, I took the engine out of my car over the winter and changed the Automatic engine harness I was using to a Manual engine harness. I also changed the entire floor harness in my car so I could have power windows. As of now I have a 98 EX (Canadian SI) engine harness, 97 (EX/SI) Dash Harness and a 98 (EX/SI) Floor harness. Now when I turn the key I get power to the ignition, I can turn the car over, I'm pretty sure its firing but haven't checked that yet. I hear the fuel pump relay click and then click off after a few seconds, but no activity at the fuel pump. I checked to see if there was any current and nothing. Is there one place I can run a wire directly from the fuel pump relay? or does anyone know where I should be looking.

 

you can get the wire directly at the fuel pump and supply a +12 volts to it, make sure you are connecting it to the correct wire, not the ground wire, and make sure the ground wire is grounded

 

Dont I need to wire in a relay ? If I run a power wire directly to the fuel pump

 

Yes, you should run some type of relay/switch setup.

Kind of follows a fuel pump kill switch idea.

 

Make sure to double check all of your grounds in the engine bay. I think you may have missed one when installing the new harness.

Edit: Also the pump only powers for 2 seconds at first and then power is shut off from it. You will have to check for power while someone else turns the key.

 

Ok, No big deal, it was a bad ground wire at the fuel pump for some reason, after playing around with it I got it working, car started like a champ. Thanks for the help
