where is fuel pump relay on a 90 spec xr3i?????

 

under the dash in the drivers side footwell

 

what colour is it?

 

Its the big purple one mate

 

yeah agree with both of the above comments

 

there is 1 big relay, purple in colour but if i bridge the 2 heavy wires the fuel pump should run continiously? correct?

 

just change it

 

Red to a black/red trace will run the pump constantly.

 

i have bridged these wires to pump run constantly.
it isnt the big purple relay!
its a small yellow 1.
pump is running constantly but not putting fuel forward to the engine.

i have just fitted new tank and fuel lines.
it sounds like the fuel pump is blowing instead of sucking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is this possible????????????????
multi plug on the wrong way round???????????????
any ideas???????????

 

up

 

my advice mate would be to chage the relay and not bridge it.

 

if it is efi there will be no pink relay.

 

i'm not going to leave it. just trying to eliminate stuff.
the relay isn't my main problem. its trying to work out why the pump is working but not putting fuel forward to engine?????????????????????????????????????

 

i new that you would know what i was on about.
is it possible for pump to blow instead of suck????

 

if it efi the pump will be inside the tank

 

yes it is. thats correct.
when the pump is running it doesnt sound like its sucking.
it sounds like its blowing.
can it do this if connected wrong?????????

 

I would assume that if it's blowing instead of sucking then somethings on the wrong way round

 

no shit sherlock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i want to know if it is actually possible b4 i rip tank back out.

 

 

decided the pump is running wrong way????????????
how has this happened???
