Issues with power to 87 fuel pump
« on: January 18, 2019, 10:45:14 AM »
I have a 87 Chevy 3/4 ton and the fuel pump will not turn on when turning the key. This had been a off and on issue for the last few months And we were able to pour a small amount of fuel in the throttle body and she would take off. We are trying to figure out our issue. So I found the fuel pump relay and put 12 volts to the pigtail and the pump did turn on so I believe that the fuel pump it's self is fine. We bought a new fuel pump relay today thinking maybe it was a bad relay and that did not do the trick. We also got a new fuel tank selector switch bc anytime someone bumped the switch with their knee it was always a pain to get it to start working again. What do I need to check next? Possibly the oil pressure sensor? Thanks for any info you all can give me

Check the fuses, see if it's equipped with the fuel module. Refer here:
