ok scenario it is a 1987 z28 with a 5.7 liter tpi engine. i let the parts store guy put in a new battery he shorted something under the hood and made the alarm go off and then i could not get it to start. well to get it to run i wired the fuel pump to a toggle switch but i dont like this i would rather have it working right.i dont have power to the pump, i have power to the fuse but i dont know the location of the relay. any suggestion, wiring diagrams, or anything else would be helpful. thanks

 

relay is a rectangular one over next to the brake booster, should be the only non oval one

 

alarm went off? could be a starter/fuel injection kill

 

Disable the alarm system altogether, they usually have a "valet" button or something of the sort. Then see if you can start the car without the toggle switch.

 

I don't know if the Camaros have this or not but my GTA has a inline fuse behind the drivers side headlight for the fuel pump. I found this out the hard way. I was driveing my GTA and I hit a pothole and the car shut off, it would crank and crank but would not start. I got the car home and found that I had no fuel pressure, the fuse under the dash was good so I thought my fuel pump went out. I replaced the pump and still had no fuel pressure. Just by chance I saw a wire with a fuse holder built into it but there was no fuse, I put a fuse in it thinking this was too easy to be the problem. I got in the car and it fired right up and has run great ever since. It might be worth a look to see if that is your problem.

 

camaros have it there as well

 

i will check that makes sense.... for right now i found the relay and ran power directly to the relay so the pump works properly. ty for all your help

 

yeah ty for your help it was the fuse...very aggrivating but glad someone else had experinced it to let me know ty again
