Hi all,

Well my 2.3 LX Stang has been great until today. I went to start her and she turns over but doesnt fire. I do not hear the fuel pump prime the system either. I checked the fuses and there all good.

Whats my next step? How do i hot wire the fuel pump to test that or how would i test the fuel pump relay.

Thanks guys

Hot wire the fuel pump and then check your timing bet

How would my timing effect if my fuel pump operation? I no longer hear it kick on when i turn the ignition. And how do i hot wire it?

Thanks.

you wont hear the fuel pump kick on time after time. only when the pressure is low will it kick in.

Like said above, with the right amount of pressure the fuel pump wont even turn on untill the engine is started.

The timing BELT could have jumped a tooth from being loose or a bad tooth.

Thanks for the response sleeper. How would i jump the pump from the diagnostic connector? I do have a OBD1 scanner too that will check relays, so im assuming it will check the fuel pump relay too.

Thanks.

It should be fuel pump to self test in, if not then try fuel pump to anyone of the ones on there

One thing i did also notice when trying to crank the car was that the tach needle bounces. I wont be able to hook up my scanner till wednesday to check that relay
