gq fuel pump fuse help

[td42shayne]

I just bought another gq ti efi I gave the engine bay alittle hose out when I started it,it was running then I think something shorted out .it runs on gas but not on petrol I cant hear the fuel pump running when I turn the ignition on. is there a fuse for the pump somewhere .its 92 4.2 efi on gas underneath and after market safari fuel tank.thanks

Mine did the exact same thing after washing it one night, was a hole in the windscreen seal leaked water straight into the ECU. It's in the passenger footwell on the firewall, pull it out and open it up for a look.

thanks I don't know much about engines especially efi ive had atd42 for years

[td42shayne]

checked ecu seems dry but a lot of old broken rubber stuff under it ,is there a fuse for the fuel pump

Mate mine seemed fine until I took it out and tipped it upside down and water came out of it...

[Winnie]

Yeah it's a common thing to happen to them. My aircon stopped working from it too.

According to the Haynes diagram the 10 amp fuse is under the bonnet.

[td42shayne]

thanks but I still cant find.this model looks like its gonna be a nightmare.

[Bloodyaussie]

Why is it going to be a nightmare? ??

[td42shayne]

theres two computer looking things in my passenger side one says imco ecu and the other things bigger and feels like relays down the side.

[Bloodyaussie]

You have gas fitted then... the big one is your ecu and has a 10mm bolt that holds the plug in. . Once undone you can disconnect the plug and tip upside down to see if water has got to it.

The other unit is for your gas system.

I bought it for the body mainly but it has that much wiring shit under the bonnet it scares me ,im in the middle of fixing 3 electric doors 2 low beams 2 spot lights maybe fuelpump power mirrors .ive been on the computer for days.i didn't realise how different it is to my good old diesel model .I cant even find if a fuel pump runs a fuse . it couldn't even handle a little squirt under the bonnet .

[td42shayne]

the big ones got 4 bolts thathold abig gold plate, the little ones just sitting there

Mate mine just got a wash today with no issues... water on the ecu is a real problem but cant say this is your problem.
All you can do is go through process of illumination. ..

[td42shayne]

so should I undo the 4 bolt big one, it looks so dry under there.i thought I could see a bit of smoke and smell it under the bonnet be fore it stopped.

[Bloodyaussie]

Takes 5min.... and that is one thing you can cross off your list.

[td42shayne]

aussie I took it off undid the bolt unplugged turned upside and its not wet .where do you reckon next

[Winnie]

There is only 4 or 6 screws holding the casing on the ECU, it's worth taking them off to have a look for any corrosion in the ECU. It will be very obvious and only another 5 mins.

[td42shayne]

bugger I just put it back. the one I just done had a row of green plugs and one bolt that holds them all in,i got the right one I hope.thanks fellas

[td42shayne]

all fixed cant b elieve it.on the drivers side next to battery theres a plate with 2 screws bolt head,inside theres a little black box thing looks like relay sorta,took little cover off two fuses in there .changed fuse and wella shes going.theres a sticker that says something like ign ac ,im a happy chapy thanks fellas

Funny I went outside this morning to have a look as it has been awhile and was going to post the location....

Glad you sorted that side of things... hope you are trouble free.... now I am going back to being a sicky!!!!!!!!
