I have a 1987 Ford Tempo. I am not getting power to the fuel pump. Any suggestions? It is my work car and is all I have for transportation. I just replaced the solenoid, alternator, battery, distributor cap, Ignition Switch, spark plug wires, rotor, exhaust system, muffler, and the fuel pump. And still not wanting to start. I put starting fluid on injection system and it will fire. Went to check electric fuel pump and no power. What have I missed? Someone told me there was a fuse to the pump. If so where exactly is it, because compared to the fuse panel, It's not there. Anything would be helpful. Thanks.
