Fuel Pump Issue...

[Turbz_13]

How ya goin

Last weekend i was drving the gtr around and this happened a couple times, it lost all power but didnt stall until the revs dropped right off, but i would let it sit there for a few minutes and it would then start again.

it seemed like it sorted its self out so i drove it out to a friends bday partie(around 150km's from home, mmm long drive fot it i know). i thien left and got maybe 5km up the road and it didnt it again. pulled over and sat there trying to kick it over. and wouldnt start this time. and there wasnt any pump priminig. finally got a road side assist guy to come and have a look. and he used the test light on the pump plug. the positive lit up. but so do the negative(or earth he actually called it) bit unsualy??

is this a dead pump? time to wake a big mother of pump or set up in?

he told me there may be a reset button that may infact cause to to work. was something bout a impact sensor faulting and no allowing the pump to owrk until it has been reset.

what do you rekon...??

cheers

If you can't hear the pump priming then chances are it is dead. Try getting a mate or something to bang the tank while youre cranking, if it starts then its fuel pump 100%. Try driving the car with over half a tank of fuel see if it does it. Had the same issue in an old car of mine where I would do a right turn and the car would stall on me. Over half a tank of fuel car was sweet, was fuel pump obviously. And anyway for a 250 dollar investment its well worth it for your GTR, don't want it suffering fuel starvation and then BANG...

we basicly tryed everything we could on the side of the road, i had 2 mechanics with me then the 3rd was the road side assist guy. nothing seemed to work. about the only thing was i left it un plugged for a while then plugged it back in and tryed to kick it over and it primed for a few secs then cut out

I had a problem like this a few weeks ago, turned out to be the wiring that supplied the pump with power had shorted out. Replaced with thicker wire, all good now.

Or, my alarm relay shorted out once too, cutting power to fuel pump, it would prime then die. Hope that helps...
