prob in the tank, check the fuses first, or at least to make sure you got power at the pump

Fuel pump is in the tank. On my Daytona (very similar) you pretty much have to drop the back of the tank to get to the fuel pump. If it needs a new fuel pump STAY AWAY from AirTek (i.e. AutoZone, O'Reilly, etc). Pep Boys sells Carter. NAPA likely has a quality pump.

Before dropping the tank, you might look to make sure that the pump is getting voltage. Hate to see you go to all that trouble and the fuse was out.

Have a helper crank the engine over while you slap the bottom of tank a bit, it might wake the pump up.

Or replace the fuel pump relay,they corrode from sitting.The relays are all the same,pull one that operates something and see what happens before you go buying parts you don't need.

Is the relay under the hood,or in the fusebox?
I already banged on the bottom of the tank,didn't do any good,It's got 3/4 of a tank of gas,and It still smells decent

Just turn the key to the run possition and listen for the pump to run. If it runs, your problem is elsewhere. FYI...the pump will only run for a couple seconds before turning off again.

I had a similar problem on the wifes 91 full size van. I replaced the pump and still got nothing. Turned out to be the pick up in the Dist. Apparently the pick up tells the computer that the engine is rotating and to turn the pump on.

I don't know if the accliam is the same or not.

Good luck.

If the pick up was bad I don't think it would start at all.

Check the phasing ring that passes between the pickup in the dizzy. I had the same symptoms. Turns out the ring was rusted bad.

First step....check for codes.

Turn the key off and on three times...leave on the third time. Check engine light should probably flash once, then twice for code 12 and five followed by five (55) for end of test. Get any other codes post them here.

If it starts pouring gas in it the dist is fine so I would not waste your time on it. Just have someone crank the eng while you check for voltage to the pump. If you have voltage then have someone turn the key to the run posistion while you listen at the tank to hear the pump run. As was stated it will only run a few seconds that way. If you dont hear it run the its a bad fuel pump or a bad ground for the pump. If you hear it run I would check the fuel filter first but it could still be a damaged pump blades. If you did not have voltage at the pump then you need to check the wiring. Thats the easiest thing for you to do. Ron
