Guys I wired in a new fuel pump into my 34 GTR and found it didnt work(and yes I got the wires correct and yes the pump works when tested elsewhere).

After that I resoldered the original fuel pump back in to check if it was a resistance thing etc, but that didnt work either, there is no voltage from the wires at the fuel pump

.

So for the moment I have just added a new relay in and got the power from the ignition circuit to switch the relay on and have the fuel pump direct battery voltage feed.

But I would really like to get the orignal circuit working. The fuel pump fuse is fine. I have checked all the fuses in the boot, near the drivers kick panel and under the near the jump start point in the engine bay. Are there any other fuses or can someone tell me where the fuel pump relay is actually located.

My understanding so far is that the ECU fuel pump relay signal puts out .6v (checked against another ecu in my car), from there I think it goes to an earth controller of some sort and then switches the relay on.

Im just shy of tracing wires, but if anyone can give me a heads up on how the circuit works i would be rather greatful.

well.... the fuel pump relay control on the ecu is actually contolled by the inputs the computer receives.

There is a fuel pump drive controller that turns the relay on and off.

Whan i turn the key on i get .6v for 3 secs so this indicates that the the signal is working fine (manual says approx .8v). Seems i may be having trouble with this drive pump controller.

Anyone know where this drive pump controller or the fuel pump relay is located.....im getting closer to this problem

Ok so quick update.... I took the battery terminals literally off then back on....and BAM 12v out the original fuel pump wires....so now have the 14v direct feed relay with the original fuel pump wiring being the swith for my relay....

random electronics lol

bringing up an old thread, went to start the car this morning and it cranked fine but wouldnt kick in...

after abit of investifating we believe its probably the fuel pump as i was not getting any sound prior to cranking (power not getting to the pump??)

checked kick panel, front and rear fuse boxes, all looked good. tried unconnecting the battery and restarting with no luck..

i have a haltech platnium pro plug in that and i will take the laptop down tomorrow and try and see if anything pops up on the logging, and maybe rebooting the ecu (not sure if disconnecting the battery would do this anyways?)...

anyone have any ideas or tips, advice to solve the issues that seem very similar to the above.

any help will be greatly apppreciated.

Cheers,

Anthony

Relays are under the rear rt tail light. Make sure you are getting a pulse on that relay and there is 12v on it.

thanks for the tip mate, was wondering where they are.

im pretty hopeless when it comes to fixing things but will give that a shot tomorrow.

just under the internal boot side wall carpet? or further?

Hey mate,

Anything else i should check after doing the above test? what should i check if it is? or if its not etc?

thanks

u need to test the power at the fuel pump not the relay. and remember u need to test it while either cranking or wiyhing the first 3seconds or so while its supposed ti be priming once key on

Thanks mate, i will look into doing this on the weekend and go from there.

had another look at my issue this morning, and it appears that im not getting power to the relay or the fuel pump.

has anyone had these issues before? from research and looking at wiring diagrams etc it appears the fuel pump control module could be broken. may have to look at hard wiring the pump direct to the battery to fix this? does anyone know an easy way to test if that is 100% the problem, or would be the fact that the pump isnt getting power proof?

here is the wiring diagram i found for reference.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
