EGI fuse popped, no power to fuel pump?

[sunnys14]

CAR: S14 KA-T

Yesterday I was driving and the car studdered and died.
I then pulled over and checked my fuses and the fuel pump wasn't turning on, I checked the fuel pump fuse and that was good, I popped the engine fuse box cover and discovered that the EGI fuse was popped.

I then swapped in another fuse and tried to start the car, the fuel pump wasn't turning on with the key. I pulled the ecu to check to see if it shorted and burned out. The ecu looked fine, no burn marks or anything.

A question is, if my distributor shorted out, would it cause the ECU not to prime the fuel pump? I read somewhere that the ECU reads the CAS off the distributor to prime the fuel pump during startup.

I'm running to the same situation I read that the fuel pump relay may be fried so I replace it and still the same I check My ecu and it it's ok I replace the fuse for the egi and he car doesn't start but when u take the fuse off the car stars then dies but when it stays on u can rev over 3000 man I miss my s14

Try that again in English. With capital letters. And punctuation. Then maybe someone can actually read what in hell you wrote.

Bump to the top.

My cousins got the same problem

[smelly240]

how sure are u that the ecu is good - because that sounds like what happens when a maf/maf wiring shorts out - can u take a hi-res of the ecu?

I'm somewhat in a similar situation, I recently swapped a SR from a running car, it was plug and play for wiring, all but one ground close to the passenger side fuse panel, without it grounded no fuel pump, with it grounded the car runs great but the EGI relay stays warm and the battery goes dead within a few hours of the car being left sitting. Any suggestions?

have u checked the wiring under the passenger side fender. have a had a couple cars come in riding low, that over time the tire had chewd up the harness and caused all kinds of shorts right around that area.

oh and aslo have u jumped the fuel pump itself to make sure its not dead. sometimes that does happen

*UPDATE*

Traced the problem to a short on my Enthalpy ECU. I resoldered the burned connection and the car starts up!

The only problem now is the car will NOT turn off with the key out of the ignition.

The only way the car will turn off is if I pop the hood and pull the EGI 7.5A fuse.

Is there a possibility that the EGI relay shorted and causes the car to stay on? Any words???

Followed your steps, sodered ecu, new fuse, found the short. Starts right up, but doesn't turn off too! Only way also is to pull egi fuse to kill car.

Anyone have any clue?

Bump I'm having the same exact issue, with the car still running even after the key has been switched to off. Anyone figure this out?
