help car won't start

[Jonathan]

Ok, this is what I have Close up...

And...

From the pictures posted from Welmoed and I.... as one Captain Jean Luc Picard would say... "Make it so!"

Ok, I jumped the Whites to the top right, White with Yellow strip is on the botton, and Blue/Yellow is on top left Top... It still does not want to start... Do I check for Voltage at the + on the coil?

Just checked.. I am gettin 12.45 Volts on all 3 Terminals.. is that right?

Have you tried the fuel system tests as mentioned in the other thread? i.e. pushing down on the plate underneath the air intake to see if there is resistance against you pushing down on it? If you turn the key to accessories for a moment prior to starting the car, do you hear the fuel pump running? We could still do the RPM relay jumpering to test the pump as well. How does fuse #7 look?

It would appear I have some "Creative" wiring... I have no #7 Fuse, and 1 Relay has been jumpered

Hmmm, Craig, that's interesting. Not crazy uncommon though, so don't worry, we'll get it sorted out.

Try this thread:

There are many of the original circuits in the first post, and then further down in post 6 I uploaded a diagram Sean made on this fuse and relay area.

Perhaps now would be a good time to reference that diagram and then sort of take an inventory of exactly what yours looks like and what the differences are?

You can see fuse 7 is a 20 Amp one, and I don't know why it would be missing or how the car runs somewhat without it. I would say put a new 20 Amp fuse in the #7 position and try it... unless another member chimes in here and says to do something else in the meantime??

When I got my car, the fuel pump was wired directly to the battery. It sounds like yours more or less is too. What probably happened was something quit, like the RPM relay or a fuse or whatever, and then a previous owner or mechanic didn't know how to fix it properly and started to get "creative."

I would focus on putting the car back the way the wiring is supposed to be, with standardized upgrades included of course.

There are no metal parts on fuse #7 where the fuse would plug into... I assume they yanked the wires out of the box, and you see external fuses... What color wires "went" to #7, I see some taped and spliced below the box

Thanks

Both wires that were on fuse #7 should be brown.

Ok, the plate under the Air Intake ie easy to push with the pump on... I hear a noise.... I went to the back and the Black mixture control unit is Humming...

How can I see if the pump is pumping? Loosen the side connection?

Thanks

I didn't see this thread until after I replied in your fuel capacity thread.

Maybe a moderator could move or copy my post to here?

Let me know if the split is not where you wanted it or ??

All good... I just thought the fuel tank size thread would not get good help for starting, so thanks...
