1987 Dodge Aries Questions & Answers
Car was running great,cut right
There are a couple of issues that can cause this. Dodge use a double fuse system for the fuel pump. One fuse is located in the interior fuse panel, mine was in slot 13 but that was a Neon. The other fuse and relay are located in the engine compartment in the power distribution center. Now, having said that I will tell you the bad news. If the timing belt broke, a definite possibly in an 87, the fuel pump is shutoff due to a safety. Check the timing belt. You should be able to look at it visually through the cover and tell if it is turning. It will take two people if you don't remove the cover which is help in place by 2 bolts on a 4 cylinder. Before you go getting into all of these fuses and wiring use a multimeter to check the power wires going to the fuel pump AT the gas tank. If you have power there and the fuel pump isn't working then the fuel pump has gone out.
