Greetings All! Here's the deal...the battery on my 1986 IROC (305 TPI) crapped out. After replacing the battery (after about 4 weeks) the car won't start. I confirmed spark, but then noticed that I couldn't hear the fuel pump engaging when turning the ignition on. I have confirmed 12V all the way back to the fuel pump, so I am 95% sure that the pump is bad. I also replaced the pump relay just to make sure and of course that changed nothing. My questions:
- Is there anything else I should look at before replacing the pump?
- I'm no master mechanic, but I have the tools, the Chevy shop manual, and the time...any tips or tricks to make the pump replacement go smoothly?
I will be working in my garage with no lift, just jack stands.
Thanks for any and all input, Robb
