Fuel pump not working. Fuse? Relay? What?

ok first go back to where your pump is(under the rear passenger seat)check for 12 volts at it..if not it maybe the relay,turn on the key and listen for a click in the console/your radio area,the click is the MPI relay which turns on the pump,if not try a new relay,if that dont work just bring it back to the store and swear ya found the problem and never used the relay for a refund,oh also if ya hear a click after you start the car and the engine all of a sudden dies it is the relay,if all else fails run a 10 or 8 guage wire from the battery all the way to the pump just like ya do an amp with a 30 amp inline fuse and a switch you turn on,or figure some way of using a 30 amp relay turned on by something else when ya turn on the key and still a 30 amp in line fuse too,sorry I cant provide more info but it sounds like ya need it fixed fast....if all else fails then you need a fuel pump....www.autoperformanceengineering.com sells walbro 255's for only $100 for our cars..think of the rewire as an upgrade since the puny stock wiring only gives us 11 volts at the pump and the wally 255 helps alot in the long run too...good luck and hope ya fix it bro.
 
okay, im having trouble finding the relay though. I know its near-to under the stereo, right. But i cant find it :cry:
 
So does anyone have a pic of the relay up under there? I want to try to get it done tommorrow. Thanks :thumb:
