Question
I have a 95 astro;I am pretty sure it is a failed fuel pump.Before I check the fuel pump I would like to check the fuse or relay;could you tell me where these are located and how to check. thanks
HEA DICK;
WELL IT COULD BE THE PUMP BUT THE FUSES ARE IN THE FUSE BOX AND SHOULD BE ECM I AND ECM B CHECK THEM =ALSO IF THE PUMP IS BAD YOU CAN TRY TO DO THIS - WITH SOMEONE CRANKING THE ENGINE TRY TO START THE CAR AND WHILE DOING IT GET A RUBBER HAMMER AND HIT THE BOTTOM CENTER OF THE GAS TANK AND KEEP TAPPING THE CENTER OF THE TANK WITH THE HAMMER AND HAVE THE PERSON KEEP TURNING THE ENGINE OVER IF THE PUMP IS BAD MOST OF THE TIME THIS WILL CAUSE THE GAS TO BE PULLED INTO THE MOTOR SO IF IT STARTS THAN DIES AFTER YOU GET IT RUNNUNG YOU WILL KNOW IT IS THE PUMP, OK DO NOT HIT IT REAL HARD BUT HARD ENOUGH TO GET IT SUCKING FUEL UP. JUST USE CAUTION OK.
