My '87 2.9 has been running like a dream until today and it wouldn't start. I couldn't hear the fuel pump come on so checked the fuel at the shrader fitting - no fuel. I then checked the inertia switch - it had not tripped nor has there been any reason for it to. Next step was to check the fuel pump relay. It is the original 27 yr old and was full of crud and corrosion. I bought a new relay but the pump still wont come on. I have a wiring diagram but age has faded all of the wires except the red one.
Can I hot wire the pump temporarily to see if it will activate? I hate to remove the pump and then find it isn't the culprit.
