Hi, I have a rear 1992 Toyota Celica GT convertible that was dealer modified in 1992. One day it stopped running. It cranks over but dosent start. I disconnect main fuel line from carburator and tried to start and theres no fuel pumping so I installed a new fuel pump and still no fuel.I then used a jumper to test if it was the pump fuse, still no fuel! Is there any other fuse that would cause fuel pump to not have connection?

When I got the car there was no relay, just a brass jumper connecting the circuits. Should I buy a real relay and waste more money if the circuits are temp connected and still not working

Could it be a bad ground or tampered wire from snow and ice rubbing under the chase?

I bought a fuel pump relay and its still not working. So I tested the circuits and there's no power going to the fuel pump relay also RTR and head (RTR)fuses have no power also scuirters for washer fluid not working. This is driving me nuts man.-_-.

Check power at relay from ECU term 1 see pic of wiring for relay. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

In Australia where I am located the cars are R/H drive so I think that in your case it will be on the R/H side or passenger side for you.
