thoughts as to why it dies right away?





When I first got my car this happened. I thought the resistor might be the issue, but it turned out that the fuel pump fuse was blown.
 


So the 4 pin connector to the fuel pump. Shouldn't there be power going to at least one of the pins? I have two ground but the other two read nothing
 
The pump primes with key on and doesn't stay running until the engine is running. You'd need to make a jumper to jump the power to find out if power is getting back there.

I assume you unhooked the maf already and tried starting with some throttle ?
 
i checked the maf connection but it has been connected when i try and start the car. and yeah I'm going to hotwire to the fuel pump to see if power is getting back there or not. If no power is going to the pump, what does that mean then?
 


If no power at the pump..it means you aren't getting power. C'mon lol. Then you trace it back. Wiring, fuses, relay.

Try unplugging maf and using throttle to get it started and keep it running for a min or so
 
Got it running. I had the pump and and noticed the car had no gas. So 5 gallons and it fired right up. But the sending unit on the gauge is broken.
