Posted December 31, 20177 yr comment_538669 I went to start up my 1976 280z and it didnt fire up, so i checked the spark and it was fine. So i took off the cover of the air flow sensor to check the fuel pump and i heard the relay click but not the fuel pump. So i took the pump out and it works then checked the power to it and had 11.8 or 11.3 volts or something. I plain to re hook up the pump to the connectors to see if it works now, and there was just something in it that i shook lose when i took it out. Is there anything else i should check or another shut off for the pump. -Thank You Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/59272-fuel-pump-not-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 31, 20177 yr comment_538677 You checked power at the pump itself? Back by the tank? Check the ground circuit also. If you used a convenient metal spot as your ground you might have overlooked the ground wire for the pump. And are you sure that the pump was not working? You could loosen a hose clamp at the filter and see if there's pressure. Looks like you just assumed there no pressure because you had spark.

December 31, 20177 yr Author comment_538687 I took the hose off after the filter and there was no pressure. I had almost 12v back at the tank. I took the pump out and put it to a battery and it works. I didnt check to see if there was 12v at the tank before taking out the pump.
