Towed and 10 codes!!!

[Starter986]

Thank you all for the recommendations.

I'm going to attempt jumping the fuel relay one more time. I've wire and connectors... and will bring some patience. I'll be listening to hear if the fuel pump buzzes. If not... maybe it's the pump. However, before I rush into replacing the pump...

I'll check the fuel pressure at the rail. Picked up a compression test kit from HF a coule/few months back... haven't used it. Will.

The fuel filter. Since I have the car up, and the panel removed... I may attempt the filter. However... I was able to remove the line with the click attachment. However, the other, exiting, line appears to slip over a fuel line... with no clamp... and appears to have been on there for some time. How the heck does that come off?

It's 90+ and humid... so I've called it a day. Friday and Saturday I'll return to it.

Thank you, again. I'll be back.

I know that it's easy to say (specially with this heat), but patience is the key word here..

For what I had read, I am betting on the fuel pump as well, but before you get a new one you may want to remove it and check it out of the tank (just in case something got disconnected while jumping on the dirt road), but keeping in mind that these are cooled by the fuel itself, so if it runs you have to shut it off right away (before you fry it..)

Good luck!

Oh, you gave me a lesson in patience.

The cooling the pump won't be a problem, if it runs. I had filled up the tank.

I may have to siphon... but to where does 14.7 gallons go? (rhetorical)

Your pucks remain seccure. I'll get them to you sooner or later. Believe it or not... I haven't ventured past Redlands since last II was out... and that was only one time. I'll head west at somee point.

I was referring to powering the pump outside the fuel tank to check if it is working or not..

I thought I might try the jumper trick first... followed by testing the fuel pressure at the rail... then, maybe, pulling the sending unit. I've zero place for 13 gallons of gas, so I may just have to reach my hand down into the tank to remove the pump.
