Turbo 2 Sorting out some problems..Help!

Hi everyone I'm Kris.
I just bought my first FC. It has an apexi safc and a turbo timer a greddy boost controller and an hks intake with an apexi exhaust. The car is sound (as in compression and all) i have a little prior knowledge of rotaries but not everything. I am having trouble getting power to the fuel pump when the key is on nothing and when you crank the car it goes to 5v. Any help is appreciated.

The fuel pump is not supposed to get power by simply turning the key to on. If you jumper the fuel pump check connector on the passenter strut tower and turn the key on, the pump should run.

You may also need to do a fuel pump rewire. Basically you run a dedicated power wire and relay to the pump.

As a general note, checking voltages during cranking isn't very accurate because the starter uses up a lot of the electrical current available. Try to do checks with the key in the 'on' position.

The FSM's are available at Foxed.ca - Mazda RX-7 Manuals
