Skoda Felicia 1.6 fuel pump problem

Featured Replies

The problem I'm having is that the fuel pump is wired directly; I mean, when I turn the ignition switch on, the pump starts and doesn't turn off. I'd like to know the wiring diagram for this pump, how it's connected to the relay, and how I can fix this problem. Thank you very much.

What do u mean directly?? if the engine dosnt flood with gas, my guess wuld be fuel pressure regulator just returning the gas in the gastank

I mean that the pump doesn't stop after 2 or 3 seconds, it stays on all the time, and that's because the previous owner left it permanently on.

Does the car run like that??

Yes, it works, but I want to leave it like new since it could affect other things in the long run.

Ok so the car works, but that is not a relay issue in my opinion(i know only basic electrics so take this with a grain of salt) what he probably did is that he spliced a triger wire from the ecu to ignition 12 volts, prob becouse of ecu issue. What u can do is try and find where he spliced in(def a dashboard out job) and add a basic switch so u can manualy control the priming of the fuelpump(race car style 😉), or rewire the trigger wire back to the ecu and chase the accual issue. As for the manuals have u checked malualslib or scribid?

Maybe he connected legs of relay. Can you hear pump relay disconnecting after couple of seconds? Or maybe there is no relay just jumper.

I can't hear the relay clicking, but there is a relay in the fuse box, and I tested it externally and it's good, so I've concluded that I either need to take it from the ECU cable or from under the steering wheel.
