KA24E bad Fuel pump? plz help - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I got a weird problem.
I posted my problem in the small questions thread bout that every cold start up i had my car would immediately shut off after turning over. Sometimes i would even have to push on the gas to keep it alive. Someone mentioned it was bad fuel pump or FPR, I changed the o2 sensor because i wanted to see if that will help and it did. All this was like last week and my car was fine up until yesterday night. Out of nowhere it was giving me problems while i was driving. Every time i pushed on the gas the car felt like it wanted to die/struggling. I didnt see any smoke coming out of the exhaust tho. I'm thinking it is a bad fuel pump??

Now the wierd thing is my battery is dead, I tryed jump starting it and it was a no go

. Everything inside my car doesnt turn on, not the radio, the automatic seatbelts even move, but my headlights still can turn on. It was struggling like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHdPWWjigmE

If i had a bad fuel pump how can it cause my battery not to work or not even work while being jump started?

cant believe i didnt think of that. Yup its blown so im guessing that solves my electrical problem. Buying the fuel pump later on today hopefully it solves my no starting issue.

Don't buy the fuel pump until you replace the fuse. A lot of tines the blown fuse causes no start issues, and stalling issues.

Get access to the fuel pump and w/o disconnecting it turn the key on and listen for the pump to come. Test the terminals on the plug to the pump and make sure your getting 12v. Finally if all the checks out pull the pump let it dry of fuel and test it with some leads off the battery best to use a 15 amp fuse to do that see if it runs then go spend 100 bones.
