Hi,I have a rear 1992 Toyota Celica GT convertible that was dealer modified in 1992. One day it stopped running. It cranks over but dosent start. I disconnect main fuel line from carburator and tried to start and theres no fuel pumping so i installed a new fuel pump and still no fuel.I then used a jumper to test if it was the pump fuse,still no fuel! Is there any other fuse that would cause fuel pump to not have connection?

could it be a bad ground or tampered wire from snow and ice rubbing under the chase?

In Australia where i am located the cars are R/H drive so I think that in your case it will be on the R/H side or passenger side for you.
