Open the passenger door. Open the little panel on the end of the dash. I think it is a red 10 AMP fuse. Mine says FPP under it I think in the lower/right corner of the fuses.

Re: (scorp508)

thanks, scorp..

looks like the pump is probably bad, then.. the fuse is good.. this is the 2nd time it's broken down since i got the car, and i've only driven it home (2 miles) and been working on it in the driveway.. :mad

i'm starting to wonder if maybe i shouldn't have traded my IROC for this car, my '86 ran like a top, heh..

i'll buy a pump and put it in, hopefully that'll fix it
thanks anyways,
Colin

The pump is an easy swap if it is it. Why not put a fuel pressure gauge on the schrader valve on the right side fuel rail and see if you have pressure. They tend to go around 100k miles.

Re: (scorp508)

i'm just trying to narrow down the possibilities..

i've now changed the plug (it was toasted, anyway) and put on a new FP relay.. the fuse is good so that leaves the FP.. i can't hear the pump start when i turn on the key and after cranking there is no spark, no gassy smell, and when i push in the valve on the fuel rail i get nothing..

heh, i get 25% off at work and we stock the AC Delco so I'm going to put in an AC Delco pump with a new strainer and see if that fixes it..

could that have given it a really bad stumbling idle? once it revved up a bit it was better but could the FP have been part of the problem?
thanks :)
