ive been havin some gremlins show their ugly lill heads. i thought it was my enertia switch so i bypassed it because my fuel pump wasnt running.still no fuel pump....( you couldnt hear it runin ) so i let it sit overnight to ponder where the hell the fuel pump relay is. come out in the morning and turn the key, wham i got my fuel pump runing.car starts fine.does anyone have any suggestions? has this happened to anyone else? i have an 87, notch, lx, 5.0l h.o, auto. this car has me baffled. it semms like after i stretch her out a little i seem to have this problem.im thinkin the fuel pump relay gets hot and shuts down my pony, but i dont know where the friggin thing is

 

There are two relays under the drivers seat ..one of them the green one isit Hope it helps

passenger side wire harness fender near the strut

 

thanks snail i appreciate your help

 

i've had the same problem twice. first time it was faulty wiring to the inirtia switch. second time it was the pump itself. most of the time when a fuel pump is dieing it quits when it gets hot. let it sit for a few hours and she'll run again. ...

 

thanks stock.........i took the enertia switch right out and conected the two wires for now untill i get a new inertia switch. i wondered about the pump, but never really had one thats in the tank....... i guess ill get a new pump too then....lol

 

if it does turn out to be the pump, you should step up to a 110LPH or better pump. the stock pumps just aren't enough, even after a few of the simplest bolt-ons you run into starvation at the top end....
