 Hi everyone, Shabear1000 here. Today we're going to troubleshoot the fuel pump in this vat. I'm not sure if it's in the system or if the pump itself went bad. This thing has been setting for seven years. So it could be the pump it worked before we brought it out here. Once we brought it out here it never kicked on. I have checked the fuse and the fuse is good but I haven't checked the relays. So what I want to do is show you how to get to these wires and want to check them back here. Find out if it is getting power to the pump and then we'll go from there. If it is then I'll notice the pump, I've already got one. We may go ahead and change that out today. It's a little windy today guys, it's a beautiful day but it is windy. I've got the neighbor right next door here, he's mowing but he's almost done. So he tries to keep his yard clean so it looks nice, it used to look like a park there before they got older. So anyway, back to this. Let's get on this and let's see if we can figure out why the fuel pump is not working. Okay guys, so the first thing we've got to do is when you lift this up there's a screw here, one there, one back there and one back there. It's just four screws that holds this on so we're going to take them out. They are Phillips screws, I've got the top down on it letting it air out, you know, getting that old car smell, that musty smell, you don't want that. Again this is a 1990, supercharger is not going back on it, I run the stock belt system on it again, it's going to have plenty of power, we're not going to drag race this thing, some things are better left alone. I'm not sure what the differential of the rear end is, I don't know if it's 373, it is a pausey but I'm not sure what pausey it's got in it, I don't know if it's 373 or what. So alright, now we've got to get this out of here, I've got this ready here, I've got to get the key, hang on. I can't see you guys on the screen so I don't know what all you're seeing, and then we've got to get this up out of here, like I said I did get a high performance fuel pump for because this engine is not stock so I got one that's good up to 700 or 800 horsepower, these things can be a pain, they will rip as you can see, this one's ripping, it's ripping down around there, but you have to get it out, these things aren't very much money, see this one's been patched, so this has been out before, yeah this one's been patched here and here, and here's all our wires, and now I see something already I don't like, there is a wire, let me see what you guys are looking at here, I don't know, there's a wire here that has a Scotch lock on it, that's not factory, that's not original, so I don't know, there's also one here with a wire nut on it, that's not original, let me put this cap back on so I don't get a bunch of dirt down in there, yeah I'm not sure what that is, that means I'm gonna have to trace these wires, someone's had a problem before, I know he was having trouble with this fuel pump, I've been told that by a couple different people, but why, I mean is that a power wire coming from the front, why was this one cut and put back together like that, I'll show you what I'm talking about, okay so right here there's a wire nut, those don't come on course, and right here is the Scotch lock, again I can't see what you guys, sorry the lighting sucks out here, so I'm not sure what that is all about, I don't know if that goes up front somewhere, I don't know why this one was just cut and wired back together for some reason, so let me trace this down and see if I can find out where this goes, but anyway to take the fuel pump out, there's four bolts here, wait one two three four five two three four five, okay there's a bolt that's not all the way in there, this fuel pump's been out of here before, six seven eight nine, it looks like nine or ten, there's a bolt right here, again I can't see what you guys are, right there there's a bolt that's not all the way tight, this fuel pump's been out of here before, but I don't understand the wire, the wire deal, I got to get the wire strained out before I put a new fuel pump in it, so let me see if I can trace out, trace where this goes, looks like it's going down underneath the car, all right let me see what I can find out real quick, okay guys I got monkey here, so you're gonna give me a hand real quick, I've got my test light grounded onto the trailer hitch, I think the brown and white wire should be positive, so it should come on for at least two seconds and then go out, all right let's see, go ahead and turn the key on, okay it's on, it went out shut it off, do it one more time, it's on, it should go out and there it is, okay now I've plugged this in thank you monkey, I've plugged this in and the pump is not running, so we're gonna have to pull this pump out of here, I found another cute little wire here that's looks like a big ground wire, I don't know what this is for where it goes but I know this one wire right here, this wire goes down wraps around the suspension stuff, comes up here into this aftermarket relay, there's a plug down underneath here with wires that go back to the fuel pump for the for the fuel gauge and the fuel pump and it was laying on the header, fortunately it did not burn through, so let's keep the vet she says, it'll be fine she says, thanks Monk, again sorry for the wind, okay there's two that are not tight and I see why, looks like they're stripped and that's where they stopped them, these are 10 millimeter so I'm gonna take all these bolts already got the lines in hook and the wires in hook so I'm gonna go ahead and pull these pull all these bolts out of here and then I'll kick you back on when I pull this pump up out of here, okay guys I got all the bolts out now we're gonna just pull this straight up out just like that, be careful with this thing because that is your float for your fuel gauge if that gets messed up shoot now look at that but anyway if you bend that you'll get a false reading on your gauge that's busted off for the gauge so the gas gauge is not going to work, alright let me get this set over here, we'll clean it up and make sure that none of the lines are clogged so it shouldn't be but we'll get it cleaned off and we'll put a new new pump on it, okay guys again sorry for the wind I'm just gonna get a whole new sending unit I got a little concerned about all this rust but I look down in the tank and the tank is fine so tank looks like new down in there so we're gonna take this all, take this all, take this all, there's the old pump I got the new one in here I'm gonna clean all this stuff up I am gonna stick it back in I'm gonna put this back in there see if that was the issue or not I think it was but it may be fired up let it run for maybe a minute or so but the tank looks fine in there apparently there is some moisture in it from sitting in that garage for five years sitting out here for two years so here's our accessory pack I got two socks which is good cuz if it sucks up anything I'll have a new sock extra here's the store of the show this guy right here there be alright now open this guy up I'll show you what kind it is here in just a second and it works on OEM stuff and okay so now okay so this thing was out I can tell you that I don't think was changed here's just some clamps some of these little things here butt connectors I'll need a new gasket around here like I said we're not driving this car yet so this is gonna go in here like that then it's gonna slip up in there back down into here we'll put the sock on it and we'll stick it down in to make it run and then I will order they some of them have this kind of gasket one of these deals a little screen right now I'm gonna have to hook these two wires up to these two wires and I'm just gonna go I won't go ahead and do that because it's nothing to it hook the black the black red to the gray then that's pretty much taken care of okay all right well just checking some things here all right cool all right let me uh could be in this thing here right here to be in that let me get it hooked up we'll turn the key on see if it's if it pumps but it needed a pump anyway I can't get over how clean that tank is I'm just wondering if he didn't replace the tank and stick this old junky thing back down in there because that tank looks like new one inside but I may have to replace it because those two those two bolts that were in their cross threaded were in there tight and they're stripped so I may have to you know if I pull that tank out to tap them out I'm just going to throw another tank in it but we'll burn that bridge when we get to it but so all right let me get this foot on here like I said all this does this this goes up in here like that this goes down through here and then the sock goes on it may not even need that for right now because I'm going to be pulling this out again so we just want to be able to get to where we can hear it run today so all right guys I'll be back with you hang tight okay guys we're going to hit it one time the fuel injector still ain't firing but it does have fuel pressure up to the fuel rail now and it's also got a leaky injector that it never had before hit it monk all right let me put a little more fuel down in there we'll get it to run for another second getting closer I don't know about that why well we're closer because it starts well we now got fuel up to it right injector still ain't firing right so that's probably that vat system but we know the fuel pump was bad so now we just got to get a sending unit and figure out why the injectors aren't firing right right so that could be another wiring issue could be fused I don't know could be the vat system I have not replaced it yet so we'll see right yeah so anyway guys thanks for watching appreciate it we're getting there like I said it's gonna take a year or two yeah yep it's not a weekend project is it no all right guys well she better make the main legend gone for now we'll see you all in the next one month bye y'all guys
