Pull the fuel pump relay and check pole 30 with a 12V test light. This post is fed directly from the postive terminal of the battery (red/blue wire)
Check 16 amp fuse at postion 2 on the small fuse panel.
Check for continuity from pole 87 of the fuel relay socket to the +wire at the pump.
Make sure the wire on your overboost switch is connected.
I emailed you the diagram. _________________ White 87 924S "Ghost"

i get power to to pole 30 and did a continuity test from 87 to the fuel pump to my knowledge the over boost is connected and i tried unplugging it for shits and giggles and watched the tach bounce around so im guessing that the over boost is working
whats my next move? is my relay bad? |

Assemble a jumper with a piece of wire and two 1/4" spades and plug into 87 and 30 and see if the pump runs.
If not check the ground at the pump. _________________ White 87 924S "Ghost"
