OK, i got the tranny in my car now but it seems to be having trouble starting, ive just recently changed the oil,plugs,wires,coil, but my main question is this when i turn my key up one spot right before you turn the key to start it am i supposed to hear my fuel pump? the reason i ask this is because before i used to be able to hear it i remember cuz it was crazy loud, now i dont hear anything when i turn the key, could this possibly be my problem? or somethin to do with the relay since i took my battery out? any help would really be great. oh yeah when i tried it the first couple of times it was turning over a little bit but when i stepped the pedal it would die.
So i went out and sprayed some carb start crap on the intake screens and the vehicle runs for a little while, i also pulled the hoses on both sides of the fuel filter under the hood and nothing no gas, now this leads me to think that the pump is not working moslty because i used to be able to hear it clicking really fast and then gradually slowing down but now when i turn the key nothing, so how can i check that the fuel pump relay is working, before i check the fuel pump, also the car had been sitting
--->First of all i love this site it helps soo much, secondly i think im getting real close to what my problem is, i did the fuel pump relay bypass bit basically i undid the two bolt that held the fuel pump up underneath my car, then i stripped the yellow striped wire a bit the i ran a wire from the positive post to the little bare spot,!!!!!!!!, the fuel pump started up and began pumping continously, i start the car with the wire still attached and the pump goes the car runs everything is peachy, but then i take the wire off the ghetto connection and my car begins to die again, now i would only assume that when i ran the wire my pump was on and functional, when i remopve the wire no more power, no more pumping, OK now i ask does this have to do with the relay? my car was towed recently and it was given a couple of pretty good jerks, almost similiar collision, as if i were to be bumped, would this turn my relay off? IF so how can i get the relay going so that my pump can get power?
