Hi Guys

I need help with my R33 Skyline, i took it down to get fuel last night and on the way it spluttered then come good so i put fuel in it and was on my way home and it started to splutter like it was running out of fuel the just stalled and wouldnt fire again

so i towed it home and taken the day off work to check it out,

What i have done as i knew it was a fuel problem was go straight to the fuel filter under the bonnet, disconnected the fuel line and it hit the key to see if there was fuel getting up to the rail as i couldnt hear the fuel pump prime, Wat do you know i had no fuel comeing up not even a dropped so i head for the fuses i checked every fuse in the car and relays they where all fine so i pulled the fuel pump cover off and wacked a test light up to it and turned the ignition on to when to pump normally primes and tested a few of the connections to find tat there was little power gettin to them it just glowed a little when i touch the test light on it

Could this be a stuffed fuse which i am not seein or is this a very sad earth wat could this possible be i need my car goin today

Have any of yous had the same problem as me

100% sure im up for a new fuel pump ordering one but where to buy

Depends how much you want to spend, the Walbro GSS-342 (I think it's the right part number) is the cheapest from Slide (forum sponsor here) at $155-$165 delivered, check the Slide and other forum sponsors for Bosch 040 pump (DIY guide for it's install in the DIY section), they're about $190 delivered.

Just don't get suckered into buying one of those Walbro or Bosch chinese copies off ebay etc.
