fuel pump help

95 nissan hardbody
4cyl auto 2wd

last week i went out to my truck, turn the key... nothing... so as i start the elimination process the pump doesnt turn on to presurise the fuel lines..

i got a new fuel pump and to my suprise nothing.. still doesnt turn on, so i started then with the relays and fuses but all is good there.

when i moved the harness around it then kicked on and ran for a couple days.. enough to get me to bumb f^ck NY befor doing it again. for a quick fix i removed the harness and directly connected all the lines through *i have re-checked the tied together wires and all is true to the original harness* but still nothing...

please help, this is my only vehicle

sounds like you have got a short in the harness somewhere. what kind of vehicle is it?

i removed the harness... i wired straight through so there would be no isue in the harness

its a 95 nissan hardbody 4cyl auto 2wd

did you try just wiring it up straight to the battery to make sure the new pump works? i have received parts from parts stores that don't even work. try that out and make sure it comes on. if not you may have got a bum pump.

new and old pump works its something in the wiring else where.. i took a meter to the 4sec hot line that goes on right befor the truck starts and its not hot when the key is turned for thoes 4sec the way it should be..

i dont know if it is in the ignition switch or destributor or something i have no clue but its not the pump or the fixtures in the tank its something in the front of the truck

the only thing i would think that it could be would be the ignition switch. but not sure. hopefully someone will get on here soon and be able to help you out better.

would be awesome... lol it wouldnt be much of a problem if i had a shop i could pull it in to and lift it up and check the wiring all around but rolling around on my back in pea rock sux and not my idea of intelligence

haha, yeah, it is kind of painful

so nothing huh?

wish i could help. just have no knowledge of that stuff.

problem solved... my uncle told me the most common problem with them is a bad ground.. i pulled the pump plate out and much to my suprise the ground harness was scorched and wasnt making a good connection

guess u got to listen to the elders.. they may know a thing or two
