so my buddy, 240silvia on the forums, picked up an automatic fd on a trade for another car. supposedly the car was running a gm map sensor not the stock mazda one and the car was runnning in a "safe mode."

he picked up the oem map sensor and wired it in and the car ran fine for ten minutes or so. he shut it off and let it sit a few days and now the car wont start. we have listened and cant hear the fuel pump turn on with the key turned to on.

so he bought a new fuel pump and we installed it. still no difference.
any ideas? could he have wired in the map sensor wrong? apparently the car ran without the map sensor installed at all according to him

 

I know that car.

It had some jacked wiring. I can give you a hand, but not till I get back up there.

 

when will you be back?

 

oh btw i have the factory workshop manual and wiring diagram book for the 94 fd if it will help. it makes an akward clicking sound when switched to on position. dunno if thats normal i dont know much about fds. i havent really looked at the car too much since its been like pouring down rain lately

 

I might be able to come look at it. where in tacoma are you located?

 

it is located near 56th and pacific

 

if the fuel pump isn't humming check the EGI fuse on the positive battery termanal, chances are the car ran for a bit then something shorted when u turned it off and popped the fuse. so thats a good way to start.

 

egi fuse is good and so is the relay

 

maybe it got flooded (fuel)???

 

not flooded. pulled the egi cranked over for a while and put egi back in. no bueno

 

did you pull the spark plugs out while de-flooding it? cause cranking it over with the plugs in won't de-flood it. or maybe your plugs are fouled up.

 

probably flooded

 

check and see if the engine is throwing any codes, also check for spark, and if u replaced the fuel pump it problay has fuel...

 

i only have an oem mazda fc and earlier code reader. lol it has spark. trust me. my fingers and my arm know for sure it has spark

 

you dont need a code reader, u just jumper a wire in the engine bay and it will flash a moris code threw the check engine light. search for it, thats what i did to pull codes, i forgot which pins to jumper tho lol

 

lol well heres the link i found it anyway http://www.fd3s.net/engine_codes.html all info on what codes mean how to pull em

 

thanks man ill be trying this next time im over there
