Fuel pump help

Ok guys I remeber reading on here a how to check and see if your fuel pump went or not. I think mine did, but I am not sure if it is that or the relay or if there is a fuse somewhere? I looked in the "How To's" and the Vault and could not find them, and I tried the search option but that didn't get me any luck after about 5 pages of reading. Does anyone have a link or any info to help me figure out if it is my pump or relays? Thanks

Re: Fuel pump help

The ecm b fuse is what controls the fuel pump. Its a 10amp fuse on lower left corner. If that fuse is blown you will lose power to the pump. Also there is a pair of relays on the fire wall behind the distributer, one is for the pump. I think its the one on the pass side. There is a single wire with a plug on it that isn't connected to anything, that is the test wire. If you connect that wire to a power source i.e. the dist block on fire wall the pump will spin regardless of key position. Hope that helps, that's the way to test the pump.

"Applying 12 volts to fuel pump test connector to troubleshoot fuel pump or set fuel pressure with vacuum line still connected and motor off (note fuse for safety)."

Once you apply 12 volts to the test connector, it will run the pump even if the ECMB fuse is blown since it is a direct connection to the fuel pump...

Re: Fuel pump help

Yeah that was the problem now I need to figure out why I am leaking a little gas and also why it has a hesitation when I take off. But atleast she is running again. Any ideas on the other stuff?

Re: Fuel pump help

If its leaking a little gas it could be creating a low fuel pressure issue and making the truck hesitate depending on where the gas is leaking from.

Well come to find out I think I need a tank, I filled her lastnight for the first time since I bought it and I am pretty sure there is a hole in the tank or one of the lines. So that is my new project to get done now! Damn sitting for over 3 years truck!!!
