fuel pump problems

[swedge]

i am totally confused now

if i run my fuel pump straight from a battery it runs fine

if i run it from the ecu via the blu/red wire it wont run the pump

if i run it from the battery and check the blue/red wire for voltage i get 14v

the pump is earthed on a spare battery at the moment while i fix this problem

when i run it from the battery i get voltage before my inline fuse on the wire to the battery after the fuse and at the end of the wire

its only when i connect it to the pump i get no voltage

the relay is clicking when it starts but the engine dosnt prime not sure if it should

its a c14xe conversion from a 1.0

Hang on, You need to earth the fuel pump on the car/battery on the car, otherwise there is no circuit!

thank you ill go try it now

[swedge]

it works thanks for that now just to figure out why my fuel pump os noisy as feck

[AlexW]

lack of fuel, or its in the wrong place.

[swedge]

plenty fuel and i dont have it in the usual place though but it is on rubber mounts

external mounted pumps are meant to be noisy..... if you have the fuel lines on the wrong way round, they can be proper noisy though as the fuel won't go backwards thru the regulator.

i'm assuming you've got the resistor wire thingy from the ignition switch sorted out & replaced..

two batterys, you trying to make a 24v nova ?

Fuking at it not being on the shell

yeah but its really noisy you can hear it way over the engine, its plumbed in the correct way as well

ill unbolt it and then run it and see if it makes a difference
