fuel pump not turning on?
So im extremely close to finishing my turbo II swap. The one thing that isn't cooperating with me now is the fuel pump. I swapped out the NA fuel pump for a OE turbo II fuel pump. We got it wired and connected, but when you go to turn the key into the "on" position (which should prime the fuel pump), nothing happens. No fuel pressure, no click signifying its turned on, nothing. The motor cranks, and from what my friend said, the wires going to the fuel pump is feeding electricity. So what could be my problem?

nothing, the fuel pump does not prime on a Mazda. the fuel pump runs when the key is in the "start" position or when the ECU sees an Rpm signal and turns it on.

right now the injectors arent getting any fuel. it will crank, but because there's no fuel being sent to the injectors it wont start.

well i turned the key to the on position and im not getting any fuel pressure in any of the lines. any idea why? before i started the swap whenever id turn the key to the on position you would hear a click of some kind signifying that the pump turned on and is fueling the injectors.

there is also a fuel pump jumper, its a yellow 2 pin connector on the right shock tower, put a jumper in that and the fuel pump will run with the key in the ON position. if you use the fuel pump test connector and the fuel pump does not run, there is something wrong.

the pump should run when you have the key to start, if you just turn it to on, you will get nothing, unless there is an RPM signal to the computer.

I figured it out. It was the fuel cut-off switch I replaced wasn't rated high enough, and it burned when I depressurized to attach fuel pressure gauge.
