la_leo Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Trying to keep my motor rinning. I re wired the fusible links and the idle Control works great now. But my fuel pump is still intermittently working. It's definitely an electrical problem. What would stop power from getting to the fuel pump relay? Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Are you sure power isn't getting there? Or is the relay possibly sticking so it only works intermittently? Quote Link to comment
la_leo Posted February 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'm pretty sure the relay isn't sticking BUT I'm going to replace it anyway Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Relay contacts can get dirty and weld themselves together from arcing and cause them to intermittently work. Take it apart, I bet there's crud on the contacts. Quote Link to comment
la_leo Posted February 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Well hell guys. Relay is the issue! Now if I can just get it out. Might have to use a dremel tool and cut the bracket I cant get those screws loose for nothing! Quote Link to comment
weldingrod Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Being a welder I just broke them off, drilled new holes, welded on nuts and moved over a bit. If you can't do that use the Magic Kickapoo Joy Juice. Apply, let soak overnight, use a small wrench and hammer, tap a bit to the tighten then tap to loose. Magic Kickapoo Joy Juice is a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF in a metal squirt can. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Kickapoo Joy Juice? Now you're really showing your age. Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Kickapoo yahoo juice is what some used to call Mountain Dew the soda.........kickapoo joy juice triggered that memory, and now I am showing my age. Fuel pump relay part # 28545-89900, used to sell quite a few if these back in the day. Quote Link to comment

la_leo Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 At least I can tap the relay to run the truck a couple times a week. Clutch is still frozen though. Too many projects going on at once! Quote Link to comment
