On the firewall behind a plastic cover. This relay was defective and had a tech bulletin in the past.
No switch. Check the relay for the fuel pump.
Fuel pump started making lower sounding noise when priming and wouldn't prime after a while. Let is set over night and it primed once and ran it for an hour, but didn't prime the rest of the day. Did this same thing for 3 days, but now it never primes. Checked fuses and swapped relays and tried to jump pin 87 to 30 and still would not prime. Testing the fuel pump relay socket I get strange readings on pin 87, which I believe is the input pin from the battery, pin 30 is output. When I tested the AC relay socket I get 12V on pin 87, but get strange readings like 25V sometimes more on pin 87 on the fuel pump relay socket. I know what a job it is the replace the in-tank fuel pump, I replaced it 4 years ago. This time it has a full tank of gas. I'm almost sure the fuel pump has gone bad but want to fix the cause of the problem this time. I don't want to ruin another fuel pump and these readings are worrying me. Any ideas?
If your fuel pump is not receiving power it could be because a fusible link or fuse has blown, the fuel pump relay is not switching or the brain (ecu) is not triggering the fuel pump relay. To test it, pull the fuel pump relay and locate the coil prong and switch prongs on the relay. There is usually a diagram on the relay or the prongs are numbered. Prongs 85 and 86 are for the coil and prongs 30 and 87 are for the switch. Figure out ( carefully ) wich leads on the relay mount correspond with the prongs on the relay. Use a jumper between the switch leads ( 30 and 87 ) and have a friend stand by the fuel tank. Turn the ignition key to the on position and your friend should hear the fuel pump start to run. Don't run the pump for more than a few seconds. If it does not come on you have probably blown a fusible link or fuse. Remember to remove the jumper. If it does come on test the signal from your brain by using a volt meter or test light between the coil leads ( 85 and 86 ) on the relay mount. Have your friend turn the ignition key to the on position and the light should light up ( or the volt meter should show voltage ) for a few seconds then shut off. If this does not happen there is no signal from your ecu. If it does happen replace the relay.
on the 87 Plymouth reliant the power control moduel controls the fuel pump the fuel injector tip it is located beside the battrey on the finder and the air breather is hooked to it if putting a little fuel into fuel body and car runs until fuel is gone its most likely the pcm it fixed mine
If it fuel injected in the fuel tank -if carb. on lower side of engine--follow fuel lines I'm pretty sure '87 was the first year for throttle body fuel injection in GM trucks, so it should be in the tank.
The fuel pump relay is located on the passenger side in the engine compartment.
Yes
switch it with a relay that works, like your horn relay or simulate the relay with fused jumper with 12 volts from your battery. 87 on your relay is your out to the fuel pump. putting 12 volts to the point of contact where 87 would be should start your fuel pump.
The EEC Power and fuel pump relays are behind the computer on the passenger side under the dash. The relay on the blower bracket is the fuel pump.
the fuel pump relay for a 1987 jeep xj is the second relay in from the fron on the passenger side of the engine compartment.
under the driver side seat.
The 1987 Honda Accord fuel relay switch is attached to the fuel injector pump. The fuel injector pump can be located on the top of the engine near the back.
No switch. Check the relay for the fuel pump.
the fuel pump relay should be on the pass. side inner fender there should also be a in-line fuse there too.if your fuel pump is not working,check the fuse and your grounds too.
it is located on the firewall on the passenger side
For testing purposes only you can jump the fuel pump relay (#30 and #87).
I have an 87 4runner and i had a similar problem turns out that the starter relay sends power to the fuel pump you might want to try replacing that relay
