Fuel pump issues Reply #17 – May 18, 2009, 07:38:43 AM The pump does run it's normal 2 or 3 seconds and shut off. No key in the ignition and when it's damp out. Karl's been having this issue since he got it but didn't get a chance to find out what was causing it.I am not familiar with some of the stuff you guys are talking about, and Roger isn't really clear on some of it... but I told him how to get to the relay and to tap it to see what happens...so we'll start there. I can let you know what he finds and go from there. I really appreciate all of the help. Quote Selected

Fuel pump issues Reply #19 – May 18, 2009, 08:17:20 PM Quote from: EricCoolCats;272768As mentioned, it's likely either the ignition switch or the fuel pump relay in the trunk. I'd lean more toward the latter. Moisture and/or cold weather can start messing with that relay (and the inertia switch, for that matter). I've had that happen several times throughout the last two decades. Besides, if I know Karl, he probably already changed the ignition switch...not that that would guarantee anything, but it's doubtful the fuel pump relay was ever changed before.Eric is right, I already changed the ignition switch. Here's my old thread about this issue and some of what I did to troubleshoot:http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=8421 Quote Selected
