Subject:      testing a fuel pump
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi all,


   What is a solid way to test a fuel pump?


 Here is my problem... My '84 van quit running the
other day.  I removed the line that exist the fuel
pump, no fuel.  I performed the relay test according
to the Bentley and it passed.  I measured the current
draw on the fuel pump, it read 7 A.  I removed the
line from the tank exit, a nice steady stream of fuel
poured out.  I removed the line from the exit of the
filter, also a nice steady stream poured out.


  Can the fuel pump be plugged or bound somehow?  If
it is jammed, will it still draw only 7 amps?


Thanks in advance,
Matt
