sorry for being such a noob fellas.. i am the proud new owner of a 1985 gsl-se and i was wondering if my car has a mechanical fuel pump or an electic fuel pump?? also where is it located?? the car is not currently running so iam trying to eliminate what might be wrong.thanks alot in advance . my car is totally stock with the original 13b motor btw

 

Well, the GSL-SE would be an EFI setup like series 4+ cars, so you'll have an electric fuel pump located in the fuel tank. There should be a cover plate of some sort that will give you access to the pump.

 

thank you so much sir. so the cover to access it should be somewhere in the rear cargo area correct??? can anyone else please shine some light on this??

 

here is a thread that is stickied at the top of the first gen section that will let you down load the FSM(factory service manual) for your car for free, it will answer a lot of questions for you. GL with getting your car going. RX7's a a ton of fun to drive

wrong! 85 GSL-SE has an external electric pump that is mounted on the underside of the car next to the tank. check there also there is a wire underneath the driver's side rear compartment that plugs to the fuel pump in case u want to test it or juice it..

 

and also u have to remove the cover that covers, pump and is next to the filter

 

Do you want a cookie? I'm surprised Mazda didn't move to the in-tank design by '85. It was probably cheaper to reuse the older parts & just modify them.

 

If the fuel pump is not where alex ruano said it is its under a metal plate which is under the carpet in the hatch. I could be wrong though because I'm more of a second gen. guy

 

im telling u it is not under some cover! i am the proud owner of a gsl-SE and i just upgraded my fuel pump. lift the car up, look underneath just in front of the tank itself and u will see a big hose going into the fuel pump which is mounted just forward of the tank. it is attached to a large bracket!

 

fuel pump on all 1st gens is in the bin area, but under the car.

 

thanks alot for all the help guys, so in order to find this wire that is under the compoartment to test it for juice i need to get to it from inside the car correct??

 

hm i knew i could have been wrong, i only had the chance to work on second gen

 

yes look underneath the drivers side bin.... its there going into the floorpan

 

good deal guys thanks so much for all your help
