Posted February 3, 201114 yr comment_344339 Any ideas? I turn the key on(before cranking)and I hear clicking under the dash on the passenger side and hear my fuel pump pulsating. After a few dozen give or take clicks it stops and I hear my fuel pump,pump up and stop,I then can start the car. And occasionally while driving it will go into the clicking mode and die or spit and sputter. I have a new pump.Please tell me a simple fix. I tried a switched hot wire to the pump but no help. Thanks so much. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/38450-my-82-turboauto-fuel-pump-stops-pumping/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 3, 201114 yr comment_344342 It sounds like a failing rely. Take it somewhere and have it diagnosed. Try not to do any abnormal changes to the electronics in those cars. You could fry the ECU. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/38450-my-82-turboauto-fuel-pump-stops-pumping/#findComment-344342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 6, 201114 yr Author comment_344769 I did some tinkering and when my relay started clicking I tapped on the ECM near the driverside foot, and it stopped clicking and would run.So I either have faulty wire connection or maybe my box is going bad[internal short] Found a bunch on Ebay for $60-150.

February 10, 201114 yr Author comment_345289 I tore the cover off and started the car(holding the ECU) I pressed on the circuit board in different spots and wallaah.The car died and the pump relay started clicking, I pressed again in the same spot and the clicking stopped and the pump,pumped up. It then would start. I did this numerous times with the same results. So I removed the ECU and hit the solder gun on all the joints around that area. Reinstalled and tried again. But This time the engine didn't die. NO More Clicky. I sure hope that fixed it... Sure sounds like it did, It also ran smoother So maybe I Killed the gremlin.
