hey all,

I have spent countless hours searching the internet for an answer to my problem but have found nothing, so for the people that feel like they are repeating themselves, im sorry.

I have a problem with my fuel pump circuit blowing a fuse! What i dont understand is that its the switching circuit side of the relay which is blowing. so it should have bugger all load on it! To make it clear, ive had this problem before and eventually tried (just for shits and giggles) taking out the variable fuel pump control module....which fixed my problem up until now......about 4 or 5 months! and now its gone back to blowing the same fuse! Also....its only when i get into it and put load on the engine (on boost) that it blows! i should mention im running a Vipec plug and pluy ECU. which has a constant ignition supply when they key is on out of the "fuel pump control" pin (as in it doesnt go away after the pump had primed, but the pump does turn off)

anyway.....ive found one english fuel pump wiring diagram for the RB25det, but im sure its wrong as it doesnt even have the fuse im talking about listed in the circuit!

So my question is....WTF is going?

Does anybody know what else runs off the same fuse/circuit?

Does anybody have a reliable wiring diagram for RB25det?

Im a 4th year auto elec so this should be easy, but not without a wiring diagram or tracing every single wire through the car to find out how the f**k the fuel pump is wired!

Thanks, Chris

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
