Okay, I have an 86 Rx7 N/A. I got the motor to turn over , but couldnt get it started. I looked in the fuel line and there was no fuel in it. I have gas. The previous owner did put a walbro fuel pump in it. Could he have set it up wrong? or is it something else. much help is appreciated

Turn the key to the ON position If the Walbro is working you WILL know it. That thing is loud as hell.

Too bad the fuel pump doesn't run in the "On" position. Now... if you jumper the connector in the engine bay... that's another story.

Heh, sorry, that was a bit vague. The fuel pump check connector. Yellow plug near the passenger side shock tower.

really? every car I've ever owned pressurized the feul system when I turned the key to the "ON" position. perhaps you are confused with the ACC position.

It sounds like the previous owner might have wired a kill switch.

RoughRex

How does the vehicle get fuel to run then? The key is in the on position during normal operation. I think you are confusing this with the ACC position like 93VRTouring said.

okay, I just checked to see if it the fuel pump would turn on in the ON position, and after like 10 sec it went on, and wow was it loud. I left it on for about 15 seconds and then tryed to cranked, but it would only turn over. I noticed Im missing my 80 amp fuse though. could this be a problem.

Haha I could be wrong but isn't most of the electronics of the car wired through that fuse? At least I believe the ignition is wired through that so I would check for spark which you're not propably getting any of.

Eh, I assumed he meant ACC.

Im gonna go down later and pick up that 80amp fuse then.

I may have mayed a mistake of having that high pitched sound where you leave your keys in the ignition then the fuel pump turning on. does this car have that ability or was it the fuel pump?

have you tried possibly deflooding your engine?

if all it does is crank, whether or not the motor was flooded before, the odds are it's flooded now.

worr20

okay, I unplugged my fuel lines right from the fuel pump. cranked it a couple times, left it in the on position, but nothing. so I think the last owner hooked it up wrong or something. ill check tommorow.
