Default Re: Fuel pump not priming

It is very likely the ECU (assuming OBD1 conversion?). My guess is the capacitors have gone bad. Pull the ECU and remove both covers - any fishy odor? Visually inspect all the electrolytic capacitors (they look like little cans - google if you need a pic for reference) for bulging, burst ends, or leaking. When they go bad they can leak electrolyte onto the board and cause bad corrosion which can damage the board - it will look very dark in color, usually. If you're lucky you will find that none of the capacitors are leaking. If that's the case you can replace all the capacitors and continue using the ECU.
