Well I have been working on my cars for a few months now and just got it ready to finally begin trying to get it running. I have a 1995 240sx with a NA KA and I cant get the fuel pump to kick on. I am kind of new to 240's and I am completely lost, Im really not sure where to even start. I was hoping that maybe someone close by(Mount Juliet, TN(nasville area) could come by and help me out... I am not good at all with wiring problems and would much rather someone help me out with it, but any information would be greatly appreciated. I also did a auto to manual swap so Im not sure if its something in the wiring for that or not??? If anyone can think of anything feel free to give me a call(615-738-8929) or reply back or shoot me an email... Thanks a lot!

Do you know if the pump works? If not then I would get a switch and some wires and jump the wires on the pump and see if the pump works just make sure to conect the the battery last so there isn't a spark near the gas tank. You should be able to hear the pump. Also sometimes the pumps brushes go bad and if you get a rubber mallet or something that you can bang on the gas tank with while the key is on. If one of the brushes are bad this usualy works and means you should get a fuel pump. I doubt the wiring would be bad but if the pump works then check the fuses and relays.
