ready to burn my truck
Here is the problem, I am not getting any fuel from any of my tanks. I changed the fuel tank selector valve, relay, filiter, elec. pumps, selector switch in cab, relay on fire wall and put a new computer in it. The pumps will run if i run a hot wire to them but i still don't get fuel at the carb/fuel injectors. when i checked to see how many V i get at each tank its only .63 and that is the same at the switch in the cab. What could be the problem? Please someone help me!!! Thanks

Re: ready to burn my truck
I had sort of a simialr problem on my camaro, you need to track down the wiring for the pumps and make sure it's all good.
What happened on me was the wire came from the battery to a distribution block on the radiator craddle, well the hot wire's terminal broke off and so it only got volts when it wanted to or if it got moved in the right spot. I changed pump, filter, relay, plugs, all kinds of crap, and still nothing, then find the broke wire. I was pissed.

Re: ready to burn my truck
Don't burn it! I could put it to good use. It's been 6 months since someone plowed into mine and totalled it and I still don't have a 73-87 or any transportation for that matter. I've been walking.
Not sure what the problem is but the best advice I can offer is to go over it with a multimeter. Last edited by Pyrotechnic; 04-17-2007 at 10:16 PM. |

Re: ready to burn my truck
Sounds like a partial short to me. In other words, a wire has some insulation rubbed off or is pinched, and a lot of current is running to ground directly (but not enough to pop a fuse).
