Car not starting

Postby malc » Tue May 16, 2006 10:39 pm

hey guys
car is an ae92 trueno
having problems starting it, not a battery problem as the engine turns over fine and sparks fine.
Seems to be a problem getting power to the fuel pump, tried bridging power from the battery to the fuel pump in the diagnosis plug, this worked for a while getting it started but now car doesnt start at all.
Possibly a fuel pump relay problem? any ideas where the fp relay is located?
or any other ideas as to what the problem is?
cheers

check for power at the pump on cranking and check voltage drop
check for fuel behind the filter while cranking

fuel pump relay should be in the engine bay
is it a 4age?
