Default fuel pump ?

my fuel pump is not turning on for some reason, I first though it was my fuel pump so I picked up another one and it still does not turn on, so I took the original one that I thought had gone bad and tried it on the battery and it turns fine. any ideas?

I tried changing the relay with the stasrter one.. cause I know that one works and nothing, the fuse is also fine

The engine is not giving me any error codes.. could it be a sensor?

Thanks in advance

How did you know the first one was bad? Could you not hear it prime? Does the new one prime at all? Have you checked your fuel pressure at the fuel rail?

yeah, there is no pressur at the fuel rail and the fuel pump doesn't do any noise at all.

I thought it was the fuel pump that had gone bad cause it just died on the highway and when I turned the key the fuel pump didn't run or prime

Well if the relay and fuse are good, then your gonna have to start looking at the wiring.

turns out that it's not my fuel pump at all, it's actually my ignition fuse that burns out, I tried a 20 amp fuse and it burnt, so I tried a 25 amp fuse and its worked fine, but I'm suposed to only use a 10 amp fuse

The weird thing is after I change the 10 amp fuse I get to drive like a kilometer or so before the fuse burns out.
but like i was saying with the 25 amp fuse it's working fine


So now I'm wondering what could be burning up my ignition fuse?
