Where is the Fuel pump relay located?

This car does not have a fuel pump relay instead the engine management relay controls the fuel pump, here is the wiring diagrams for the fuel pump so you can see what I am talking about and the relay location as well. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Hello,

The relay is located in the engine management fuse and relay box, which is in the left rear corner of the engine bay. The relay is labeled R9, and the fuse for the pump is #17. I attached some diagrams below to help, and highlighted where they are. Also, please refer to the guides below in case you get stuck.

Hello and thanks for your reply.

As you can see there are multiple configurations for your car, and Ken's answer seems to match your configuration. There is no dedicated fuel pump relay for this configuration, instead it is controlled by the engine management system main relay. This should be relay R7 in your picture, I wrote an arrow pointing to it below. Also check fuse 17 for power going to the pump. If both of those are good, we should check voltage at the fuel pump connector.

Also, can you confirm that the car will run on starting fluid?

Hope this helps,
William

Hello,

You can test the pump at the connector by removing the rear seat cushion. You should be able to lift it straight up, or at least push in and lift up at the same time. I attached some diagrams for you below. When testing the pump make sure the voltage between terminals A and C have approximately 5v.

If you feel like you need to remove the plastic nut for clearance (second picture), just use a screwdriver and a hammer and lightly tap it left to get it started to release it.

Let us know if you need anything else, we are here to help.

Thanks,

Hello,

Not necessarily. If you turn the key to the on position, you should hear the pump running for some seconds and then stop. The problem with it running only while pressing the gas could indicate a vacuum leak or throttle issue.

If you want to pursue the pump, we can check fuel pressure, but I would check the voltage at the pump connector, which should be 5V.

You may need a helper to keep the car running while you check for vacuum leaks. I use starting fluid to spray lightly around vacuum lines and the intake manifold to check for leaks. The engine will usually surge or bog down, indicating an air leak. Otherwise, the first component in the air intake will be the air filter. Something as simple as this can cause starting issues (especially if wet or an animal decided to make its home there). Next is the Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF). While looking at the sensor would not give you answers, the parts store does sell MAF cleaner. If this sensor does not calculate the air ratio correctly it can also prevent starting and mess up fuel delivery. After this should be the throttle body itself. You should verify that the throttle plate is in the correct position when the engine is off and that the plate moves when commanded at the pedal.
