It could be fecked, is it new or what?? the relay for the fuel pump on s14's is down in the drivers footwell, probably the same for 15's, i could be wrong though

no i was doing work on the engine doing the turbo, manifold and lines put a new battery in it last night, tryed to start it when i noticed my fuel pressure gauge warning light on. never did anything with it. do they just go like that?

 

[Sideways Simon....]

is it priming?? did you check the relay, even if its clicking , the relay still could be gone, theres two relays there right beside each other, i think the other one is for the elec windows, change them over and see if that helps, otherwise id say the fuel pump is gone

Is it continuously clicking? If you've not touched anything, it's most likely you've missed an earth or disturbed some wiring. Do you have any alarm wiring running near the turbo? Have you bashed or moved the loom?

The wire from the relay to the back is usually black with a pink stripe on it. I can't see the pump randomly failing for no obvious reason.

Oh, unplug the wiring to the pump at the tank end and see if it's getting a live feed on ignition.

got her sorted, when i changed the battery an earth wire going to the pump fell down out of sight when i connected it up again. quick question do all of them have a direct feed to the battery?

 

[mitto]

not normally... it's a ****ty way of giving an aftermarket fuel pump a solid feed...
