Fuel pump relay

Does anyone have a picture of the exact location of the fuel pump relay? Ive seen diagrams that point to the relay but Id prefer an actual picture of it. Im gettng spark but no fuel and trying to figure out why.

Re: Fuel pump relay

A little update, found the relay and got a new one from NAPA. Just put the new relay in and nothing changed. So now Im thinking fuel pump modulator or resistor. How can I find out if they are working correctly? And if not where do I get new ones?

The resistor and modular are under the rear deck. The wires to the pump are under the rear seat, rhs. There should be 12V, to the pump for 5 seconds when the key is turned on, and 12V when starter is working.

Re: Fuel pump relay

Im really thinking its the resistor, its hot to the touch after ive tried starting the car. Ill have to get a new voltage meter as I cant seem to find mine any where.

Unplug the resistor and put a jumper across the plug, the pump should run full.

Re: Fuel pump relay

Another update, I unplugged what seems to be the fuel pump modular and now it starts right up and runs. Question is what to do now? I would think its not a good idea to be running the car with this unpluggged.

I tried to upload a picture but I must be doing somthing wrong because its not working. But when youre looking under the rear deck from the trunk, its the little grey box with a yellow sticker on it.

The pump gets its ground through the modulator for full flow, or through the resistor for low flow.
It won't worry it to run like this, just won't run full throttle.
