Ok I was racing a friend yesterdayAnd about half mile after we were done my car just shut off out of nowhere. Before this I don't think I had any real problems in the fuel dept. But I can remember I used to have a code 43 awhile ago. But have not seen it for months. The car is a 96 hatch w/b20 vtec turbo on 10psi. It has a street tune so a/f should be ok.

After I parked the car I had no prime from my fuel pump. So I checked fuse #13 and it was blown. So I replaced it and it blew again. Then I waited about half hour brcause it was hot outside and tried it again with no luck. So I towed it home and pulled the walbro and it looked to be ok. I have a cheap multimeter and I think it read 1.1 ohm or something like that. Then I put the fuse in with the pump out and no blown fuse.

That's as far as I have gotton. Does this mean it is my pump because the fuse didn't blow.
I planed on changing out my main relay with one from my eg but I couldn't find the relay on my Ek. I know it's suppost to be by the kick panel on the drivers side but it's not there. I think I may have found it between my glove box and the firewall. It looks just like it but I'm not sure.

Give me some input so I can get back on the street.
Also the car had a swap and wiring done before I bought it so I have no clue who wired what where.

 

Your test results are telling you to replace the fuel pump. It has a short to ground.

 

I was hoping you would chime in. So just buy that simple test of unplugging the fuel pump and the fuse not blowing is a sure sign my pump is bad. Where should the ohms read for a fuel pump.

 

Two points you made indicate a short in the fuel pump:
1) Unplugging the pump prevented the fuse from blowing
2) A 1.1 Ohm reading to body ground at the power wire in the fuel pump connector indicates a short

 

Ok I got back to my car this mourning and the fuel pump reads 1.4 ohm onthe meter when it's set at 200 level.

Also I was told to hook up 12 volts to the pump while it is out the car to see if it works. So when I did that the pump started squirting out fuel. Si now I wonder if it's really the pump or not.

 

Ok now I retract my statements. I guess I didn't look good enough.
Ok my fuse is still popping with the pump out. I am now sure that my main relay is up by my glove box because I heard it click once or twice before the fuse blew again. While I was turning the key the relay clicked and I did not get any power to the fuel pump plug above the fuel tank. And the fuse did in fact blow out again.
Shoul I now try to replace the relay or start somewhere else.

 

i would start checking out that main relay and see if its shorting itself out and causing the fuse to blow.... unplugg the relay and see if the fuse will blow to know for sure instead of throwing parts into it and still doesnt work..

 

should i put the fuel pump back in and hook it up then unplug the main relay.

 

here is what the relay that i think is the main relay looks like. its the one in brown. the black one is out of my ef.

ok just put the pump back in the housing and plugged it into the harness but didnt put it in the tank. then i unhooked the main relay and replaced the fuse. turned the key and no blown fuse. then i unplugged the fuel pump and hooked up the volt meter and turned the key on again. no voltage to the pump. but that should be because there is no main relay connected right. and still no fuse so i think im going to replace the relay.
