Fuel Pump Wiring Loom Colours

Can some one tell me what colour the wire is in the loom for the fuel pump???

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

Ok the positive wire for the fuel pump is Violet, test it with a spare light globe, testlight or multimeter etc

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

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?
