Did fuel pump rewire and car won't start??

[95talontsi]

OKay I did the fuel pump rewire as per the vfaq on the 2g fwd spider because there was no 2g awd. the fuel pump connector was different, it had about 5 wires, 2 black 1 black/blue and I think 2 or three yellow.
The vfaq said blue was power, so I assumed that blue/black was power and then I used the black one that was next to it and assumed that was ground. I turned on the car into the second click, for fuel pump on and it just clicked and turned off everything is dead I can't even get anything working, I can't find a blown fuse what is the matter.

Used these two connectors (B's) from the view of the wires going into the white connectors.
remember I have a 2g awd.
Please can anyone help l2r I know you can.

I have an AWD and would like to know also.

You need a tester to find the power and grounds. Just guessing may have fried some wires along the way.

When I did mine I hooked the ground to one of the screws near by the fuel pump, and mine wouldn't start either. Turns out the screws go into a plastic "nut" so it wasn't grounded. Moved the wire and It started right up.

Gounding is most likely your problem... with all the wires at the plug however... you might have gotten the wrong wire!

Hmm... let me try to remember the wiring... it's one of the black wires...

Black with grey stripe is the power wire.. and the BIGGER black wire is the ground. I originally tapped the blue wire as in the vfaq.. and that has to do with the return info to the gauge.. ie my fuel gauge was dead.. !

Hopefully that helps a bunch.. grounding is a big issue.. I scraped at the metal, it didn't work.. on last ditch effort, I actually hooked the wire to a real ground wire.. and it was working. My weird car...

BTW: 95 AWD, so it should be the same wiring.

You may also want to test the relay because the first relay I bought was bad. The same thing happened to a friend.

If the relay is indeed clicking then it sounds like you have that part of it correct. Now just make sure the connection from the battery (10 ga.) wire supplies voltage across the relay to the pin which connects to the pump.
