So, I haven't driven the '94 probe gt lately. I started it and it took about 5 cranks to start. I have read on here that when you put the key in to start the car, the pump doesn't prime, but It just seems to me like it does. Like a 2 second sound from the back of the car.
Anyway, it has been sitting for a while and was low on fuel so I took it to the gas station. It died as I approached the pump. I put fuel in it, started it up, started to move and it died.
It would not restart. Not only that, but I didn't hear any of the pump being primed.
I did the jump at the diagnostic terminal via the haynes book and heard a noise, but the noise sounds like it is the injectors or something. It isn't coming from the middle to back of the car at all.
I listened and felt the relay and it appears to be clicking on when my wife turns on the ignition.
Could it be that there is not enough gas in the tank and that is the only problem? There is currently only about a gallon or two in there, maybe less.
Is there an easy way to check the fuel pump to see if it is actually working.
In the days of carburetors, you could just take off the air cleaner and put in a few drops of fuel and the car would at least try to start. Is there any way to do this sort of priming thing with a fuel injected car?
Thank you for your time,
Shawn
