Hey Folks,
Got a 92 taurus I want to take off somebody's hands. It won't start. Been sitting in the driveway for 3 years. Yeah. Got 170K+miles. Jumped it, I was shocked that the starter cranked. In the on position, without turning it over, you can hear the fuel pump actuate and hum in the tank area. You can also hear the relay at the top of the radiator buzzing loudly. It's got a few gallons of gas. Any reasons the relay and pump would stay on? Is the fuel pump a diaphragm type pump? If so, I'm thinking that the diaphragm is cracked, and the relay keeps actuating the fuel pump to get up to operating pressure, but can't, so it keeps on going. There was a mouse nest on the head between two of the injectors. A few of the injector wires had the insulation chewed. I was pretty careful about making sure the injectors wires were not shorted out. Is it possible that a little piece of wire is touching, shorting out one of the injectors causing the relay to buzz non-stop?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
