question: why did you buy the walboro in the first place? was it because you thought the stock one had went bad?

i'm just trying to see the history to see if that history relates to the current issue.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

i bought the walboro cuz i thought the old one went bad and when i took it out and tested and it still worked but not so good. it wasn't even blowing that good anymore. on top of all that it was all rusty looking. i also bought the walboro cause i'am gonna put my car on some spray in the future so i thought i mighty-es will get this out the way

okay. that helps.

my suggestion would then be to find the wiring diagram for your car or if you already have it look to see where everything is going. something along the way is not happy.

maybe a ground?

i am not good at wiring but i am trying to figure it out and my friend is teaching me to start at the beginning then work my way back to see where everything leads to and connects with.

How about the main relay? the #14 fuse? there really is not very much TO the circuit that kicks the fuel pump.

Sounds like main relay..

The Efs are prone for problems with them.. Just bought a broken down CRX.. checked the relay and fixed it and drove it home.. Owner didnt have the car running for 1yr...


here is a pick of the location if you dont know where it is..
