fuel pump?? Or?
hey guys i need help badddd..... i have a 91 240sxand recently well months ago i had a problem with it. My car would shut off while i'm driving and i didn't know why so a friend looked at it and said it was the fuel pump, i replaced the fuel pump but the problem is back again.

I coudln't start it again, i know it can't be my fuel pump since i tried it out and its working. plss help if anyone has suggestions please let me know. thanks

ahm i really need help...the mechanic sais he need to reconect the fuel pump wire where its originally suppose to go because right now its connected to the battery....and he wants 150$ for it. I don't know if thats the problem,that the wire is going directly from the fuel pump to the battery. But now nothing works in the car its like the whole electrical system blew. please help
Re: fuel pump?? Or? (A240Ka)
Check your fusible link(s)...
These are wires that are designed to "burn" (similar to a fuse) to protect the wiring system from overload.
If you trace the positive (+) cable from the battery, you should find a fusible link in this wire - usually quite near the battery. If the link is burned, replace it. If it happens again, you likely have a short somewhere.
Other than this, check for bad connections - - including the main grounding cables (engine block to vehicle frame, etc.).
Let us know what you find.

Re: fuel pump?? Or? (A240Ka)
allright this is what i did.... i took a new wire, connected it to my fuel pump wire and than i connected that to the fuel pump fuse and my car started and haven't turned off yet i'm still going to chek if the original fuel pump wire has a short somewhere but at least i got the car to start i had the car on for about 20min and i drove it around the block didn't turn off.... i know its not a long term solution but works untill i figure out why my fuel pump doesnt get power from it own wire. A friend suggested to check the altenator???or could my fuel pressure regulator be the problem??
