Try Replacing the Oil Pressure Switch Described Below, It May Seem Silly But I Have Had Many times Replaced this On GM Vehicles Including My Own Car.

The fuel pump and engine oil pressure indicator switch is mounted in the engine block near the distributor. This Switch Provides A Ground when it Senses Oil Pressure, Sort of a SAFETY Switch so that It Will Not Start Without OIL FLOW < Saving your Engine from Server Damage.


ALSO Be Sure You Have at Least 5 Gallons of Fuel in Tank, I Have Gone Behind Mechanic's that Diagnosed car as Needing Fuel Pump, But they Were OUT OF GAS, They put TOO Much TRUST IN The FUEL GAGE.
I Hope this Sheds Some Light On Your Problem and You get it Figured Out.

The fuel pump relay is activated by the ECM, Check the fuel pump fuse and both ECM fuse on the fuse panel on the side of the dash. The ignition energizes the ECM which energizes the Fuel Pump relay which powers the fuel pump. Check the power for the fuel pump at the frame rails by the fuel tank. It's common for that area to get corroded and the wires break easy when the fuel pump has been replaced. That short section of wire harness is only $12.00 if need to be changed. If you have a few friends, you can remove the box from the frame since it's only being held by 6 blots so you don't have to drop the gas tank. The other thing you can try to do is to run a hot wire to the pump wire harness after you disconnect it so you don't loop the electrical and see if the pump works. Good luck and keep me posted.

No power to fuel pump on 98 mirage

well your fuel pump veifies 12volts at fuel so get something that will produce 12volts and put it on your fuel pump and see what it does if it doesnt work then you have a bad fuel pump if it does id say check your relays you may have gotten a bad set

I have a 98 chevy s10 blazer 2wd 4 door nad my fuel gauge dont work its stuck on empty i changed the fuel pump several time thinkn it would fix the problem but i didnt. i need a picture or sumthing to show...

You could try changeing the fuel pump relay The fuel gauge signal come from the pump and goes through the relay to the gauge and on your vehicle the pump will still work even if the relay is bad it has a back up power system through the oil pressure sending unit . The relay is located inside of the glove box behind a panal its the one on the far left. I also have wiring schematic of the system but would need to fax it . If you want it get back to me with a fax #

I have no power to my fuel pump why what could it be 1998 4.3l s10

check the fuel pump fuse.. then check the fuel pump relay.. just take another relay and switch them and see if it works then.. there all the same so it doesnt matter which relay you take out.. if neither of those are bad.. you have a problem with the wiring that sends power to the fuel pump would have a short somewhere..
