Festy just died

No, the fuel pump doesnt prime until you hit the starter. Gets signal from the VAF I guess.

oops my bad then i completley read that wrong, my bad.

can you hear your fuel pump when you turn your ign on? does the gas line feed spew gas when you turn your ign on?

Got the junkyard relay and all is well!

[FB71]

Its clicking on and off, I guess that doesnt mean it has to be making a connection. You so smawt mister red hot meats!

Anyone know who sells the main relays for the capris? Im not finding it anywhere.

Edit: It IS in fact the main relay. Whats strange is the side thats all old and corroded looking is energizing fine, and the side thats all clean is not.

Jim, youre a walking factory service manual!

I do what I can!

[bhazard]

Its the BIG relay up at the front drivers side. Im gonna see if I can find one myself, maybe out of the junkyard. If I cant its all you pal!

^ I have a capri parts car. Tell me where they are and I'll grab them .....

injectors get power on the yellow/black wire, which comes directly from the main relay. Better check it again.

[xaero_81]

Better snap Ab's BP in there then. Haha

[bhazard]

Pumps running, fuels going to the rail. HOWEVER I am not getting voltage at the injectors with key on. HMMM

[batstiva]

Got fuel to the rail? No chance you got enough moisture in the electricals for the injectors to kick the fuel pump inertia switch in the back?

just hearing you say "it doesnt sound like it has compression when it starts" really really really sounds like a timing belt.

I said it DOESNT have that sound. Belts fine, just got the timing perfect.

It isnt ignition, it ran when I put fuel straight into the intake. Something is causing the injectors to not fire.

Belts fine I think. It doesn't have that no compression sound when cranking.

he says it does not have the "no comression" sound, not that it does have that sound

Yeah, Ima get started now that its not midnight on the side of US20...

I kinda suspect the main relay. I got EVERYTHING wet yesterday flushing the cooling system and all...

i dont know what would happen, but did the disty get wet too? i hear thats a bad thing

Just pulled the main relay.... it had a bunch of brown liquid resembling dirty cooling system water in it. Cleaned it out real good and lubed it up with silicone spray. It seems to work but it didnt fix the car...
