Hi everyone,

Ive got this issue with my fuel pump fuse.

to keep it short and direct - we installed a new battery - initially did it the wrong way( wrong terminals) removed it in seconds!

connected the battery properly (proper terminals) - then everytime we start the engine - it cranks but does not start.

observed the fuel pump fuses beside the battery and realise its blown - replaced it and it blows again.

in short everytime we replace the fuse and turn the ignition before even starting the engine the fuse would blow.

Do assist please, its really frustrating how a simple task can cause such crazyness.. :huh:

cheeers folk...

in advance merry xmas! :D

you may have cooked a wire somewhere in the wiring and it's shorting out when you replace the fuse and give it power again. i would try unplugging the fuel pump and then replacing the fuse and trying it then just to see what happens.

Um so you didn't touch/change the fuel pump anytime recently? Wrong terminals as in the positive was put on the negative terminal of the battery and vice versa?

nope did not...

yes wwrong terminals as in what you mentioned..

everything else seems fine in the car, no other wire issues or accessory problem.

only thing that goes wrong is the fuel pump fuse keeps blowing when ignition is on.

allright will try that.

see if the fuse blows then.

another method to diagnose further...

I don't have a spare ecu... How else can I troublshoot the problem? Btw how much does a used ecu cost? ATM I extreamly tight on budget... I am looking for the most cheapest way to solve the problem...

true tat... he spoke for me... ny other methods to bypass ecu just to get it running :3some:

It wont be the ECU as it only earths the relay trigger. You will need to find the short by a process of elimination. Power is feed to the fuse and then to the relay. Try unplugging the relay and connect a new fuse. If it blows again it implies there is a short in the wire connecting the fuse and relay. If it doesn't blow, you will then need to check the wiring from the relay to the fuel pump.

the relay is the one beside the battery am i right ?

only one relay beside the battery area, and a buncha fuses.

i will try that asap.

thanks...

tried it without relay, and fuse did not blow.

also got a new relay and tried - all cool. fuse did not blow. engine cranks but does not start.

do you think it cud be there fuel pump ?

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
