Just converted to EFI (Lima 2.0 to 88 turbo coupe 2.3) and I don’t have power to the fuel pump while cranking, which I think is the reason it doesn’t start.
it’s a walbro inline 255lph mounted on the frame, it builds pressure, doesn’t leak, and it gets 12v to prime when I turn the key in run, but drops to 0 after that, and no voltage while key is in start. Relay seems fine, fuse is good, intertia switch is bypassed..
one thing I see on the thunderbird wiring diagram near the pump that I don’t have in my truck and or on the Ron Francis harness is a canister purge solenoid. Don’t know why that would matter. I don’t understand what gives the pump power specifically at the moment the starter is cranking.. that seems to be the most obvious problem right now.
I’m also not using the EGR connector, it’s just unplugged..
Could it be that ultimately, the ecu is tripping? I’m not sure how to check that either.
please help me get out of my friends driveway—I want my life and my truck back!
