ok i am stuck at work right now. the car crank and turnover for like 3 second , than die.

i can crank it alright....but it just wont start. i checked fuel pump fuse it is still good. it might be a dead fuel pump? i have a walbro 255lph fuel pump at home, does it capable with a NA ka24de? or should i buy a oem pump?

thanks alot

well that or an OE pump would be fine but the walbro is kind of overkill if the rest of your fuel system is not upgraded.

the walboro is fine

check your fuses, the especially the 75 amp grey one.

RiversideS13 · 01-11-2006, 08:43 PM

do you mean to check the relay? the fuse is 10amp (currently it has a 15amp in there) how do i check the relay?

stuck in the work place....so i just hired tow truck to tow it to my house

hmm, do you hear the fuel pump? had the same problem, but mine went completely out and i couldn't hear it when i put it on the ACC position, just cranks

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? If not, you should be able to find a cheap one @ the parts store. Good investment. Check pressure while cranking. You should have around 40psi. If not, check voltage and ground with a test light @ the fuel pump access in the hatch/trunk while cranking. If you have voltage and ground, pump is bad, if you dont have voltage, try swapping "egi/pump" relay with "cond fan" relay and see if it'll start.
