Hey everyone, I’m sure this question has been asked a million times, I’ve read through many of them and haven’t been able to completely solve my problem. I’m not electrical savvy on automobiles so please bare with me. I parked my Z about 6 months ago running fine, no problems. Now it won’t start. When I turn the key in the on position I do not hear the fuel pump. The car will start however with starting fluid. I’ve ran a pair of jumper cables from my battery directly to my fuel pump wires, and immediately the fuel pump kicks on and the car will start and run perfectly, that is until I unplug the cables from the battery. So I know that my fuel pump works fine, and so obviously the pump is not getting power, correct? There is a set of bullet connectors under the passenger seat and from my understanding they run to the fuel pump, using a tester, I see that they have power to them when cranking the car. I’ve checked my fuses, fusible links, and I’ve pushed the afm flap and did not hear the fuel pump kick on. My oil pressure seems fine. Like I said when I inject starter fluid, the car runs great. I’ve read many times that the fuel pump relays rarely go bad, my car only has 93k original miles so I wouldn’t think the relays would be bad anyway. I just don’t know what could’ve happed in the last 6 months that would cause this sitting in a garage.
Thanks all for the tips, I could really use them
