I will do that tomorrow, Thank you for all your efforts and willingness to help me solve this crazy issue.
I know I threw a bunch of info at y’all and I I can’t thank you enough for jumping in, without even seeing a vehicle and offer excellent advice for those of us that aren’t afraid to give it hell however absolutely need some direction lol. I’ve done the majority of work on my own vehicles and the amount I’ve done grew with experience. I don’t mind getting dirty and enjoy learning, but electricity is by far my weakest skill set.
So, after installing the new ignition switch wiring yesterday, the first crank gave an indication that it wanted to fire but fell short. Today, after finding and cleaning the ground wire I had missed previously that came off battery negative, first crank did backfire, not huge but definitely backfired, no further progress though on the next few attempts.
This vehicle died while driving when this problem started under no crazy conditions, early morning, 6 miles into a 10-mile ride, no rain or anything that I could imagine would contribute to it. It’s bizarre man, did I mention that when I first put the new pump in, I could get it to run for about 45 seconds before it would bog down to stall, while running I could press the gas pedal and it would rev accordingly, when it wanted to stall, the pedal was no help. I was able to get it to run only by bypassing the fuel pump relay as it wasn’t getting any priming signal. Since replacing the positive side of the battery cables, pump is receiving priming signal, however now it won’t fire up.
Thank you for your time and I seriously mean that.
