I know, a Reliant K-Car.

I've got a 1988 Plymouth Reliant K-Car that was given to me by a buddy for getting his 74 AMC Gremlin running again.

It's a 77k mile car but hasn't run in a few years from what I can tell.

It wasn't getting spark, a new distributor pickup fixed that.
Cranks and gets spark but no start (no fuel).

It wasn't getting fuel, pump had gone to crap (d*mn ethanol fuel).
tested the pump after dropping the tank and it wouldn't run.

Replaced the fuel pump, still wouldn't start.
Checked the start relay / ASD relay, wasn't sending power to the pump.

Jumped the relay, hot wire to pump feed wire and the car starts and runs.

The DTC codes that come up are

#12 battery was disconnected (makes sense).

#42 ASD /Fuel Pump relay circuit

What I found online
42 Automatic shutdown relay circuit open or shorted
42 Fuel pump relay control circuit
42 Fuel level unit - no change over miles

OR
42 Z1 voltage missing when autoshutdown circuit energized (SEE NOTE #6)

and DTC code

#44 No FJ2 voltage present at logic board.

Wiring is not my forte, I hate it personally.

Anyone have any ideas of what I should be looking for?

Thanks!!!!
