No fuel pressure

Post by spetz »

Hi guys,

I am trying to get my car started after it has been sitting for the past few years.

When I turn the key there is no fuel pressure (car has a FPR with a gauge on it).

The ECU is not plugged in. I didn't expect this has any control of the fuel pump though? Can anyone confirm?

And, what would be the first thing to check?
I assume relays, fuses, pump?
Where is the fuel pump relay and fuse?

Does the ECU have any control over the fuel pump?

The ECU wires are not complete due to an e-manage being wired in, however I don't have the e-manage unit itself and do not want to buy one yet.

Lol...

If you really want you can hard wire up the fuel pump to a spare car battery. But I don't understand the point. Just get your ECU sorted first?
