I asked if anyone had a fuel system wiring diagram for an 02 grand am but I should have been more specific. It's the 2.2 4 cylinder.

I'm actually looking for the diagram of the wiring back at the pump. There's a bulkhead where the wires come back to the pump and sending unit then a section of harness goes to the pump and sending unit. I'm trying to figure out why I have no running fuel pump. It may be bad but I'm trying to verify that it's getting power and ground before just throwing a pump at it. Jack layton sent me a diagram of the fuel pump relay which is helpful but only if the wire colors stay the same as they get to the back of the car. What I really need to know is AT THE BACK OF THE CAR, which wires should have power and which wires should be ground and which wires run the pump and which run the sending unit. The gas gauge works but the fuel pump does not. I had someone turn the key on as I smacked the bottom of the tank to see if the pump would cycle on but it did not. That often works a couple of times and is often a cheap and easy way of determining if the pump is bad. It's not working this time so I have to probe wires and make sure, again, before just throwing parts at it. Anyone can do that and I don't want to charge the guy for guesswork, especially if I put a pump in and it still doesn't run. This car had issues with the security system, it had a switch put in that would reset it and you have to do the relearn process and the security light stays on. I bypassed the entire system with a resistor. I have spark and if you squirt fuel down the throttle body it runs. So I know I have ignition and spark. I don't have fuel pump. Thanks, Wayne Thomas

Go to the link and look up your wiring diagrams on the site. http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html

Testimonial: "Thank you so much for your help! I wasn't sure which catagory to look under, I think I went to the wrong one because I found nothing to do with the fuel system. Maybe if you're familliar with those diagrams you know which one to look under? I'd REALLY appreciate it if you could help direct me a little more. Thanks, Wayne"

Wiring diagram for the fuel system on an 02 grand am

I looked at info for the 3.4L
I need more info, I don't know what testing you have done? When you first turn on the key, no crank, can you hear the fuel pump run for a couple seconds? Did you use a gage and check proper fuel pressure.
Don't forget the fuel injectors.
The diagram is fuel pump relay--3.4L engine.

My 2002 grand prix was running rough. I plugged my code reader in and the mass air flow sensor came up. I changed that.Then the o2 sensor came up and I changed that. misfire on multiple cylinders came

Check for a restriction of some kind, fuel--air--exhaust. Use a gage and check fuel pressure. What was the actual 02 sensor code? Can you tell if the system is running rich or lean? In park, will the engine rev normally?

You don't think the tranny has an issue?

2001 grand Cherokee. Code P0300

po300 is a random misfire, a P0300 doesn't tell you specifically which cylinder(s) is/are mis-firing, nor why. If it was a po302 this means its #2 cylinder thats misfiring,ETC, But po300 could be any one of the cylinders. check plugs, wires, fuel injectors, Etc. Good-Day!

Tengo el codigo p0306 saben que es

Hi there:
A misfire is nothing more than a lack of combustion, which can be caused by poor fuel quality or metering, low compression, lack of spark or unmetered air entering the engine. There are other possible, less obvious causes as well, such as uncommanded Exhaust Gas Recirculatin (EGR), flow. When the misfire monitor detects a misfire, it will trigger the check engine light with the specific cylinder number as the last digit in the P030X code. For instance cylinder 1 misfire is P0301, cylinder 2 is P0302 etc. In this case we are left with a P0306 in the computer memory.


Possible Causes:
Fuel injectors, related wiring, sensors and computer issues
Running out of gas, or poor fuel quality
Evaporative emissions system (EVAP) concerns: fuel vapors leaking into engine
Incorrect Fuel Pressure
EGR system concerns: leaking EGR valve or restricted ports
Base engine concerns: low compression, valve train problems and timing issues
Ignition system concerns including, but not limited to:
- Faulty spark plugs
- Faulty coil or related wiring
- Ignition module or related wiring issues
- Ignition related sensor faults or wiring issues



Other details could be find HERE.


Hope helps.

My 96 nissian maxima turns off when driving down the road i try to turn the key ,lights in dash on horn blows but will not startcould it be alternater ,or what how does the 02 sensor go by functioning ...

As of 1996,all cars sold in the US were required to have an OBD-II computer interface port.
You may want to go to Advance Auto Parts, AutoZone, or Pep Boys, and get a free read
of the code(s) that you computer may be posting to help with your diagnosis.

The code coming from your vehicle's computer may be one or more of:


P0130 02 Sensor Circuit Malfunction (Bank I Sensor 1)
P0131 02 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank I Sensor I)
P0132 02 Sensor Circuit High Voltage (Bank I Sensor 1)

Maximas with the VE30DE and VQ30DE engines use a distributorless ignition system that is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM receives a signal from the crankshaft sensor (the CPS - Crankshaft Position Sensor), and processes the signal based on inputs
from other various engine sensors, including the Oxygen sensor.
(this is the role of the O2 sensor in ECM operation).
Then the ECM sends signals to each of the individual coils in the proper firing order.
This system is more efficient than a distributor, and has fewer moving parts. The high voltage coils are directly attached to each spark plug, allowing a higher energy spark within the cylinder. A high energy spark means a faster, more thorough burning of the air/fuel mixture, which produces more power and lower emissions.


SECONDARY SPARK TEST - works for all cars, including Maxima.


1. Remove the spark plug.

2. Install the spark plug to the ignition coil/coil pack, then attach the coil wiring.

3. Ground the plug at a good ground location on the engine.

4. Crank the engine and check for spark.

5. If spark occurs, the ignition system is functioning properly.

6. If no spark exists, test the ignition coil/coil pack, power transistor and related wiring.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEI Ignition Spark test - works for all cars, including Maxima.

The next level test you may want to try is a HEI (high energy ignition) spark tester kit. Cost is
about $30 at most auto parts stores. Harbor Freight Tools sells a chinese equivalent for about $16.
Place the spark tester on each of the spark plugs, and watch as the little light in the tester will
light up each time the spark plug is fired by the computer. You can actually see weak or
intermittent sparking as the motor runs - you can tell by the relative strength of the light as
you compare the intensity and duration of the light across all 6 cylinders.

If your problem were the alternator (or its built-in voltage regulator), your battery would not be
getting a proper charge, and you
wouldn't be able to start the car after a drive, since the battery would have been drained during the
drive - normally, the alternator will both charge the battery and run all electrical
features of the car during a drive.

To test your alternator, place your DMM (digital multimeter) across the battery terminals while the
car is running - it should read 13.5VDC to 14.5VDC. With the car off, you can test your battery
voltage with the same DMM - it should read 12.65 VDC (for a fully charged battery).

Alternatively, you can take your car to Advance Auto Parts, AutoZone, or Pep Boys, and they'll
attach their "charging system tester" to your car and give your car a nice test for free.
I do this with my customers' cars just to get that nifty printout of the problem. Its nice
to show a vehicle owner somethng in black & white when I'm recommending a new charging
or ignition system component (some of which can be a bit pricey).

I have a 1999 Pontiac Grandam that is pulling code P0300. I have changed the head gasket, plugs, boots, both coils, ignition module, crank and cam sensor's, had to get a new timing chain tensioner and...

The only thing left would be fuel. Check fuel pressure , replace the fuel filter, and check the injectors(ohm's from 11 to 15) and the injector harness. Mostly on the harness make sure you didnt pinch a wire putting it back together, especially the map and coolant wires.

Showing PO420 and PO304 code

MAP sensor, Maybe, but doubt it.

When the misfire monitor detects a misfire, it will trigger the check engine light with the specific cylinder number as the last digit in the P030X code. For instance cylinder 1 misfire is P0301, cylinder 2 is P0302 etc. In this case we are left with a P0304 in the computer memory. Which is cylinder 4.
Possible Causes:

Fuel injectors, related wiring, sensors and computer issues
Running out of gas, or poor fuel quality
Evaporative emissions system (EVAP) concerns: fuel vapors leaking into engine
Incorrect Fuel Pressure
EGR system concerns: leaking EGR valve or restricted ports
Base engine concerns: low compression, valve train problems and timing issues
Ignition system concerns including, but not limited to:
Faulty spark plugs
Faulty coil or related wiring
Ignition module or related wiring issues
Ignition related sensor faults or wiring issues
This maybe causing PO420 code to go off.
Which is:
P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)

There is one O2 (oxygen) sensor in front of the catalytic converter (called upstream), and one behind it (downstream). When the engine is warmed up and running normally the upstream oxygen sensor reading fluctuates and the downstream one is fairly steady. In the case where both readings are fairly steady, a P0420 check engine light code is set.

Possible Causes:

Oxygen (O2) sensor not working correctly
Damaged or leaking exhuast (pipe, manifold, catalytic converter)
Damaged catalytic converter
