Where exactly is the fuel pump relay switch located? I recently tried to get my car to start after sitting idle for eight years due to motor problems. I installed another engine out of a 1991 Festiva and replaced all gaskets and timing belt, installed new electric fuel pump, but it will not pump fuel up the gas line! The only negative thing I did was not draining the old gas out of the tank, since it only had about two or three gallons in it. I put a can of Sea Foam and added five gallons of gas to the tank.

Thanks

Hello,

The fuel pump relay is near the drivers side kick panel. Here is a guide to help you test it and the location of the relay in a diagram below:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

I checked the fuel pump and it works great. I replaced the fuel relay and I reset it? I do not know what is wrong with it. I traced wires but it got confusing for me so any input will be so helpful. Thank you.

Check the computer if it is grounding the coil side of the relay.

I meant I went through the whole entire car, now I am at the tumbler for the keys because I can start my car with a screwdriver maybe that is the problem. But I do not know, any other answers?

Could be either the cylinder lock or the ignition switch itself.

No I do not. I have never needed one and the places that I have been to have not had them and they said that they could not get one cause the car is so old.
