Diode?
Hey guys and gals,
I am looking for the location of a diode that connects on the black/white wire running into the fuel pump relay. It shows it on my wiring schematic but I have had no luck in locating it. Thanks in advance. Steve

Diode??
Is the diode in the ECU?

Diode
I am not sure if it is located in the ECU, but from the wiring diagram it appears to be a stand alone diode. My car is a 92, and yes, it is still not running. Looks good though. Steve

Diode or Relay?

N.B. ----- This diode is not involved in voltage supply to the fuel pump. I gather you have thought it could be, because of the way it is associated within the wiring diagram. There should be 12 -13 volts at the fuel pump relay black white wire, connection B51 pin 1 and ground, at all times as this goes direct to the battery via fuse no. 16. The Green black wire goes to the MPFI control unit, where it will be grounded when required by the control circuitry, so as to operate the relay and hence the fuel pump. As has been pointed out this will be on/off after the ignition is turned on. The fuel pump becomes energised as required via the relay contact and this goes direct from the battery, via the yellow wire and fuse SFB- 2. There should at all time be 12 - 23 Volts from this wire to ground. The relay output to the fuel pump circuitry is via the blue wire and again this will be on/off with ignition, as above. Again check for 12 - 13 volts to ground. Check all the above, which involves the supply circuitry. If all is OK, you can move on to the fuel pump. Go slowly, carefully bit by bit and logically. Use a simple 12 volt test lamp, rather than a voltmeter. A lamp draws a reasonable current and should light up bright. Check direct against the battery by way of a comparison. A high resistance meter draws a minute current and will not show up a low resistance in the supply line.
