Electric Fuel pump not kicking on

[thedugan]

Trying to troubleshoot if my electric fuel pump died today. Was programming my Racepak gauges with the key on so the pump was running. Probably was running for 5 minutes before I was done programming the gauge and started the car. Car started and ran fine for 8-9 minutes then died. Fuel pump is not kicking on. Before I drop the tank and pull the pump to test it could it be anything else?

How is it wired? How is it controlled?

I’m chasing the wires but it’s wired to a relay then to a modified factory LS harness. Just weird pump stopped after it ran for awhile before car was started.

Before ripping it out, I would run some wires directly from the battery to the pump. See if it runs...If not, then the pump is dead.

If it does run, then it is a wiring/relay/fuse issue...

Ended up pulling the tank anyway seeing I wanted to replace the fuel sending unit anyway. Pumps works fine so that’s not the issue. Relay tests fine so that’s not the issue. Gotta keep chasing wires now.

How is the relay triggered? Did you check the fuse?
