Default BROKEDOWN! FUEL PUMP PROBS!

got a bit of a problem, its not on my RS tho, its the Xr3i

the fuel pump isn't working, this happened bout 3 weeks ago and all needed to do was replace the yellow relay in the fuse box, happened again 2 days ago so went and bought another relay but it still isn't working

guessing now its something todo with the pump or wiring!

what do i do? is it an easy fix? i dont even know where the pump is or the wiring too it!

Had loads of trouble on my old S2, spent more time on my back under it sorting the wiring out then it working

In my case it was the conectors that go straight to the pump which were knackered and making a loose conection. I got a new connector and it was fne

ahhh,,,,wait a minute, arn't the fuel pumps on efi's inside the tanks? I though't the FRST one was inside the tank, but as posted above is it just "on top" then? Never seen a FRST underide really so unsure, interested to know tho as I was looking for a tank for my s2 not long back and had a debate about the fuel pump / swirl pot etc
