yes especially if installed in an automobile it may pump but not build pressure.
If the relay is bad, then the fuel pump will not work.
Bad fuel pump?
Check the fuel pump relay and fuse.
injector is bad
If the fuel pump relay switch is bad then the fuel pump will not be turned on. Think of the relay like a light switch. If the switch has a bad connection then the light doesnt work.
bad fuse for fuel pump relay bad fuel pump relay bad electrical connection clogged fuel filter anybody else have any suggestions ?
No, but it could run with a weak fuel pump.
there is not one! if pump does not work it is a fuse, relay, or a bad fuel pump.
A plugged fuel filter can cause the pump to fail prematurely due to it having to work harder to pump the fuel through.
If the car is not getting any fuel, it will not run.
Either a bad fuel pump (most likely) or a short in the wiring somewhere. Suggest you disconnect the wiring from the fuel pump, put a new fuse in and see if it still blows. If no blow, bad fuel pump. Still blows, short in the wiring somewhere.
Make sure you have voltage at the pump. If you do then the new pump is defective. If not, the fuse is blown or the fuel pump relay is bad. Where is relay?
