Kia sportage cranks but seldom starts??

Have you checked the fuel pump relay to see if it is sending power to the pump ? The computer grounds the relay when the computer "sees" oil pressure or engine RPM.

No fuel pressure in efi system

Either the fuel pump is not working, or the filter is totally blocked.
The fuel pump circuit needs checked to see if it's a wiring problem or a failed fuel pump. There will be (probably) a fuel pump fuse in your fuse block, and a fuel pump relay under the hood.
If you check the fuel pump wire for power at the gas tank connector while the engine is cranking over, and there is power there, and the ground for the pump is good, then the pump is not working and will have to be replaced. If you do not have power when cranking, the wiring at the fuel pump relay will have to be checked. Simple relay- has a power feed for the pump at one relay terminal (it is hot at all times), and a fuel pump wire to pump on another terminal (the power out for relay). When relay coil side is energized from a signal from computer, the relay contacts close and power is sent to the pump. The other relay terminal is a ground for the coil side of relay. Pull the relay out and you will see the diagram etched on it. If there is a fifth terminal, that could be a pump prime terminal, or a way to keep the pump running when engine is running through the oil pressure switch. But when cranking the engine, the computer will signal the relay to send power to the pump.

Replaced fuel tank and pump and now car won't start.

no engine stated.
details are based on that..
so is it still the old pump there,
this is very simple
using a volt meter. (the pump has 2 wires, measure across those)
back probe that connector to the pump. 2 pins.

12vdc cranked, if you have 12vdc cranked
but fuel pressure is 0 the pump is gone
no pump runs on 0v, or 6v, its 12vdc there,
i can not understand those fues tests
if the voltage fails to the pump it can be
the power wire or ground wire failing .
do all tests connected, or the readings will be useless.
connected is live testing, under full real conditions
and win. every time.
if ground is tested and rises to 12vdc cranked, ground is bad.
only Ohms laws here,a simple equation.

not sure why your float fails. my guess its bad.
and easy test using ohms, disconnected.
that is another problem.

ill look at your fuse, pretend V6 engine.

the service manual shows
f10 fuse is fuel pump
12vdc both side cranking is a GOOD FUSE.
note all words above.
F10 gets all power from pump relay,
so if you dont crank the relay can be off line
an F10 will be dead.
(the schematic is clear)

here is a facts on all cars, next (pure software in PCM )
  1. pump only runs 3 seconds key on, ,
  2. pump never runs, if not cranked.
  3. run cranked and all run if engine stays running.

see? and varies by year, engine, and even ECU upgrades
so a SAVVY mech always cranks to do tests.
that means its a 2 man job. sorry but that is a reality of working any car until you learn what yours does.
warning have a care here that changes rule 1 to 2, below 20F out door temps, (fun no?)

recap
crank and measure like this.
the pump has 2 wires, red hot, black ground
meter across, pins 1 to2, red back is 12vdc cranked
meter black tests lead (volts) to body perfect metal ground
and meter red lead to pin1 red shows, 12vdc cranked
12vdc means 10 to 12vdc cranked, (battery does that)
then move red test lead to pin 2, black
cranked, 0v, if see 1 volt or ore the ground called.B26 is bad.
if the pump has 12vdc on it, you hear it,
do not run it dry its fuel cooled and fuel lubricated or you wreck it.
if it is heard to run you then see fuel spec fuel pressures.
or its bad. (30psi?)

The fuel pump relay is the EFI relay in trhe fuse box under the hood right fender. I replaced it and the pump is working I can smell the gas. The truck still will not start. any sugestions?

Have you checked to see if it has spark at the spark plugs, let me know. Actually there are two relays for the fuel pump, the EFI relay and the circuit opening relay, the circuit opening relay gets voltage from the EFI relay. If the computer doesn't get a spark confirmation signal while cranking then the injectors are shut off.

Fuel pump trouble shooting, Iv'e replaced the relay and don't get a reading on my VOM with the ingition on and the probes on the pump power and ground. Didn't get a reading with the old relay...

The fuel doesn't receive power unless the engine is being cranked or it is running, did you know this? The only fuse is under the hood and marked.

Xterra car quit running. had no spark @ distributor. replaced crank sensor and got spark. no gas pressure. replaced fuel pump, new one do not work. no power to it. checked fuses/relays, no luck. ran...

the fuel pump fuse is fuse #1 15amp in the inside fuse box ( left side of dash behind fuse box cover ) the fuel pump relay is behind left side of dash ------- cavity #2 & #5 at the relay should have battery voltage in start and run cavity # 3 is the power out to fuel pump and cavity #1 is the ground that is turned on by the on board commputer.

No power going to the fuel pump?

the crank sensor is most likely the problem. If the PCM does not sense the engine is cranking then the fuel pump will not turn on. Also just because a fuel pump will run does not mean it will pump fuel.. Jump it while its in the fuel tank to see if it will pump. But still when you turn the key on you only have power to the fuel pump for 3 seconds unless you continue to crank. . If you have a 3 second voltage pulse when you cycle the key on, then spray some quick start or brake cleaner. If it now starts and you know the fuel pump has power then the fuel pump needs replacement. If you don't have the 3 second pulse look at the crank sensor as being the problem,

1997 dodge ram won't start. My fuel pump does not run and coil won't spark. Iv'e checked fuses and relays and they look fine. Could a bad fuel pump cause the asd to kill power to the coil?

First check any ignition/fuel related fuses. Check to make sure you have 12 volts coming into the pump and coil. If nothing to the fuel pump replace the fuel pump relay - if you do have power to the fuel pump then replace the pump. If nothing is coming to the coil it is either an ignition relay or a wiring issue. If you have 12 volts to the coil but no spark then replace the coil.
Also the fuel pump/relay would not kill the coil.

Do you know where or if a 2000 Mazda 626 has a fuel pump cut off switch. According to the parts store it doesn't have a fuel pump relay. I have replaced the fuel pump and the car still won't crank. I am...

Hello, I am going to make a few assumptions here. The vehicle has an electric fuel pump and you replaced it. The vehicle has fuel injection. The engine is actually cranking, just not starting, when you say "car still won't crank". You are getting fire to the spark plugs at the plug ends. You checked the fuel pump for power at the pump. No power, then you back traced the wire to the fuse block and checked the fuse to see if it was blown. If the fuse is good back trace the power to the ignition switch and/or ECM for power. You have power at the pump, check the ground and make sure it is connected properly. Will the pump run when someone turns the key on? Pump runs, check fuel manifold for pressure. No pressure, check the fuel filter for blockage, or replace it. Fuel pump doesn't run, new replacement pump is defective. There is usually some type of control module for the fuel pump on fuel injected vehicles. Good Luck, RAC
