Hey Vanlovers!
I'm having issues getting my van to start. Went through a ton of electrical troubleshooting - relays and fuses all appear fine.
Checked for implied spark with a timing light while cranking. All appears good.
Shorted the fuel pump testing thingy under the drivers seat, turned on ignition and crawled under the van.
This is where it gets confusing. I pulled the yellow connector next to the fuel tank, and I have 12 volts across the terminals.
I didn't hear any noises in the tank when I pulled or replaced the connector. Which would imply dead fuel pump unless I'm mistaken?
So two questions:
1) Is the yellow connector with two pins the correct connector for the fuel pump? There's a 3 pin white connector up around that area too.
2) would I always hear the fuel pump activate when applying 12V, or only if the pressure is low in the system? Reason I ask is that the hose next to the fuel filter appears to have pressure in it. Which is odd.
Thanks!
