fuel pump fuse

[shadowx3]

my fuel pump fuse keeps poping am driving the dwon the road when the fuse pops does anybody know what its doing this i already checked all my wiring and still cant find the problem can the problem be inside the car or engine wise?

The fuel pump could be going out. The resistance might be getting too high and pulling too many amps and blowing the fuse.

you've got a short somewhere on the power side, trace all wires under the carpet all the way to the pump.

[shadowx3]

what do you mean going out?

thanks bro for helping

hey, try looking moving the fuse up another size, like the others said, could be too much resistance going through fuse, so if go up another size it might take care of the problem, temporary fix anyways, til you can find the problem.

what ever you do DO NOT DO THIS ^^^^you will fry something else. fix the problem right....

[CaTcH22]

If it takes a while for it to blow the fuse then it might not be a straight short, but if you have two wires that are bare and close to each other then a bump in the road could cause them to touch. Just speculating though. I bet that you have harmed the brushes or the armature in the fuel pump though.

Running a aftermarket fuel pump? I had a similar problem in my S13. Aftermarket fuel pump, drawing more power than a stock unit + Pulling threw 18 year old wires = Not so good power wire. Started out as a intermittent problem. Bypassed stock wiring with thicker gauge wire, it's all gravy now.

I think i read this somewhere before...hummmmmsome things need to be reinforeced big time.

to both you punkr6 and barefoot your both right bad advice hopefully he learns from his mistakes and does not give any more of it. All i am saying here is when when someone is wrong say it then be done with it. never said it was not bad advice cause it was, just saying lay off bashing poeple for being dum we were all there once.

again whos crying umm i -reped you for treating some one like trash when they were wrong. bare foot your a cool guy you have given a lot of good advice which helped a lot. to say some one is wrong is fine when you bring up them being wrong after the fact is like throwing sand in the eyes and calling them dum. i never said he was right say to put a bigger fuse in cause i am a noob and even i know that wrong and i am new to all things todo with a car i admint that but damn hope i never mess up and give bad advice. oh and punkr6 i will be the biger man and say you were right its not bashing you were not bashing poor wording. my bad just dont like seeing people who are learning crushed like that.
