I poured a little fuel into the throttle body and it starts. Figured fuel pump. Check voltage to pump and got 8.3. Against my better intuition I replaced the pump (figuring I had voltage so the pump must be bad). With the new fuel pump instructions came this note: "a loss of oil pressure or a defective oil pressure switch will cause the pump to be inoperative." No mention of this in the Haynes repair manual that I have.
I put 12 volts to the old pump and it hummed like it supposed to. Grrrr.
Apparently the problem is the lower voltage, or..........
Anyone have any experience with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
