Default cars just died!!!!!!!!

hi there, i own an s2 turbo....was driving home before and the engine just cut out and wont start again.. ive changed the fuel pump relay and still cant hear no fuel pump priming....what else could have happened.

1) fuel pump dead ?

2) wiring?

3) fuse?


any advise would be great ie: where to look what to check.

thanks

andy

HI.

You list the most common, check you have battery voltage at the pump,
if not check fuse,next trace the wiring to and from the pump, just in case the
relay you tried may be faulty,, at the relay plug bridge pin 30 and 87 with a piece of wire,with the ignition on the pump will run contiuously if the wiring, fuse and pump are ok,

That piece of wire trick got me right outta stook when the pink relay stopped working years ago on holiday up north whilst visiting a zoo , lasted all holiday till i got home , kept fogeting to disconect it though

Might be the fuse , second row in middle area , 25 i think
