Fuel Pump Problem?

Hey guys,

I have an R33 GTSt. Today while driving I was putting my foot down bit, the car just started to come on boost and take off, when the car made a popping noise and just died there. It sounded to me a bit like a cooler pipe blowing off, but my car is running an EMS and will still run with a popped off cooler pipe (checked them anyway and they are all fine).

After a couple of times trying to re-start the car, it would start and idle, but if you touched the thottle at all it would just die.

When going to start the car I noticed I could not hear the fuel pump (which is still the factrory pump).

I pulled the pump out of the tank and wired it so I could check it on the battery, and the pump still works.

With a test light, I checked the power to the pump, and there is nothing. I have checked the fuse (the one in the boot next to the battery) and it is fine and getting power.

I am at a loss at this stage. Is there a relay for the fuel pump? If so which one is it so I can check it.

Could it be something else?

Any suggestions would be great.

Jeff.

there is a fuse and relay in the boot next to the battery for the fuel system

ther relay is switched from the ECCS relay in the passenger kick panel..

i had a similar issues in my car after i used the std wiring as a trigger for a 044 pump ...

had to rewire a switch manually to get me going and havent gone back to find the issue that caused it ;)

      Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing.

      Should be able to source 200 cell R32 cat... unsure how easy it would be to get it to Malta though.

      I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
