3S-GTE USDM Turbo Engine turbo project will not start

cakemashin' · 10-11-2009, 08:03 PM

the motor will turn over, but it won't fire up. just changed the fuel tank and fuel pump on it (both are used but seem to be in good shape) because the car had been sitting for several years. we disconnected the fuel line and no fuel flowed out of it with the key turned on. but i'm pretty sure the fuel pump is good. it just doesn't seem like it's even kicking on. also i pretty much have no idea what i'm doing on turbos. any idears?

Did you guys check to see if the pump was getting power with a multimeter?

mr.asian.m2 · 10-12-2009, 02:37 AM

good news from them today. called me up and told me the engine fire up. yay...

i was also helping with this car so yes heres whats going on right now

his problem is still present no power to the fuel pump but the relay and fuse are fine and kicking over

someone suggested to me that maybe there is a inertia switch. can any one verify or deny such claim?

any suggestions at all from anyone?

Because the engine needs to be cranking. The pump doesn't turn on with the key in the ON position. The CO Relay switches on power to the pump when the engine starts to crank or is running.

To bypass this circuit to check if the pump turns on, you need to jumper FP and B+ in the diagnostic box, then turn the key to the ON position.

even while cranking no fuel is going through he fuel pump

really nobody at all?

fvillota · 10-13-2009, 12:26 PM

no no fuel is coming out the pump isnt working.
did you check the pump outside since its useD? no?
i dont think that pump works man.
thats something you either make sure you get from a working car or brand new.
if your sure it works for sure. then you most likely installed it wrong.

the fuel pump is fine its not getting power at the connections near the shifter there is no power but the relay is kicking over and the fuse is good

bretleg · 10-13-2009, 03:05 PM

is there possibly an inertia switch?

Connect a 9V battery to the pump and see if it starts pushing fuel.
