Help my daily driver is down............
After 5000 miles a new IAP in tank pump failed which was put in by someone else. I replaced it and when I pulled it out I felt the power line (in tank section) and it was mushy. New to a spider, I thought it may be a burnt fusable link and opened it up and ruined whatever it was (coiled little wire?). I replaced it with a standard wire and new AIRTEX brand aftermarket pump which worked for less than a tank
.
1. Did I remove some sort of aparatus to lower voltage?
2. I could not find anything that says what voltage the pump is to run on.
3. If it is necessary (coiled little wire assy), can I replace the wire assy with something else when I buy my next pump? I do not see that it is a purchasable part anywhere. Maybe something from Radio shack?
I have an IAP service manual but I $#@? at reading wiring diagrams.
Thanks in advance!
Matt A. & clan of misfits:
- Rusty, '83 Spider
- Rodney, '88 BMW 325is (RIP, big crash), organ donor card signed so transferring everything into a...to be improved 89 E30 roller.
- Red, '92 Dodge diesel 4WD (tow vehicle & very uncool backup daily driver)
- Tapanga, wife's Civic and only vehicle which does not eat my time.
- (needs no name) '71 Datsun 510 race car which I can't afford to race anymore (It is my first true love - as evidenced by shirt my wife gave me which has its picture & states so).
- Tool, '88 Toyota 4WD - $50 rolled, beat, abused but runs & pushes winter snow, plus seconds as a poor man's Gator & river toy, plus a complete embarrasment to my wife.
- Assorted array of parts cars to keep the misfits running.
JUSTIFICATION: Tags, taxes & ins on all my misfits less than the Civic!!!!
