Ok Countess, according to the Bible(Gregory's Manaul) the fuel pump colours are Y Yellow to the fuel pump. D Tan fuel level sensor.It's under pressure at arnd 150psi from memory even if the car isn't running, similar set up to a Diesel eng.The Exect's have no internal fuel pump & rely on the old steam powered mechanical fuel job & have no inbuilt internal pressure.I think it's the same loom 4 the V8's in colours only the system ins't under pressure.Hope that helps if not give me a holler.!!:)

K the story is, finaly decided to fix my stereo/brake light problem by running a new powerwire straight to the battery.

Also fuel pump has been playing up ever since I got the car, quick bash with whatever I have handy fixes it & Im on my way.

Now.... problem..... did we damage the wiring by accident yesterday when running the wire for stereo thru the firwall..... or has the fuel pump picked now to die properly????


Car starts & dies, cant hear the pump at all. Checked fuses & relays.


I guess what I am asking is do you think its the pump? Or is it a wiring problem... IE pump not getting power now??

I'd sat its the pump as the wires don't run through the firewall. I THINK they run along it to the efi relay and into the fuse box you could use a test light at the fuel pump end to check to see if there's power there if there's power then it more than likely be the pump

okies, I know there is a thread here somewhere about checking fuel pressure?? Tried searching & I think all that petrol has affected my brain. I cant find it. Link me please???


***Update*** - Wiring defintly ka-put..... so new wire & yay have pump making all the right noises.... But car still not going :( - Suspected that maybe this damage was the last straw for dodgy pump & have now replaced it.

SAME PROBLEM..... I dont think it is getting fuel still... ??? Fuel pump sounds as if its working, but as I said still not seeming to get fuel to keep it going :(

VY CUSTOM.
There could be something earthing out after u installed the new wiring.

Maybe you might have shortern something out.

I can read that your fuel pump has been a problem for you in the past, but have u considered installing a new pump or buying a repair kit?
