Hi all,

I am helping the GF with her 84 300ZX which is non-running right now. The fuel pump will run only if I jump 12V to the pump leads, and engine will then start and run. The wires going to the pump are only putting out 2.8 Volts. That voltage will stay on for 10 secs after the key is shut off, then I hear a relay click up by the glove box. My first thought is a bad relay for the pump, but I have looked everywhere and cant find the damn relay to test it. I have a Factory shop manual, but cant find the location of the relay. Second thought is a bad computer, or bad wireing...

Any help is appreciated

Of all the places, who would have thought there....Thanks a million...

One more thing, is it normal for the ECM to provide voltage to the fuel pump for 10 secs after the key is turned off? Never seen that before...

That information, as well as the relay location, is found in the factory service manual.
