Finally the body shop complete the restauration last weekend but there is a problem, the car don't start, I been following the threads from Ericy321 and other guys to find out what's wrong with my car, I passed all this info to my mechanic and he says that looks like fuel bomb is bad.
I've seen in other cars that there is a switch that cut off the fuel pump after an accident, and I 'm Wondering if an RD2 also has this switch? if so, Where is it?

EDIT: The car has arround a year and a half storaged. Is an automatic. complete stock.

What is a fuel bomb? Are you talking about the fuel pump?

Ericy321

Im sure he is.

I would check fuel pressure first. Then check the relay. Then go after the pump if you have to.

There is no shutoff like in Fords. Just the relay. And it will only turn on with crank sensor signal.

Java, I made your post visible. Not sure why it was set to invisible.

cause i set it invisible and left Mike a pm for the reason why,lol. no biggie.

Ericy321

My bad, Urson. Wasnt sure if it somehow happened by accident.

The fuel pump cutoff switches became mandatory in 2003 I think, as far as I've seen, and out of my experience, ther eis NOT one on our cars.

Thank you all, for your answers, so, that relay should be in the fuse box inside the engine bay at the driver side, just where the car was hit?

And sorry if misstype anything, I live in Mexico, Even that I live at the US border, I don't write a lot in english.

My mechanic just confirm... the fuel pump is useless,dead and a I need a new one....

I already check several auto parts and the cheaper is arroun $140

Any body has one and wiling to sale it?

I have a stock RD2

EDIT: oops sorry for double posting...

REDZMAN

You didn't double post, it's impossible to double post here anymore.

LOL

BTW, don't trust your mechanic implicitly, you may want to do the DIY fuel pump test to double check.

ARNOLDCOP

I'll try that.... thanks...
