Gl 1200 Interstate

I've got an 84 Interstate with fuel pump issues. There's voltage to the pump, but apparently not enough. According to my voltmeter, I have voltage, but almost no amperage. I thought it might be a groundproblem, so I jumpered ground directly to the battery, still nothing. Continuity says the ground is fine. I replaced the fuel pump relay, that works. And the fuel pump works because I jumpered that to find out if it did. Now, according to my wiring diagram, the current should draw from the coil pack, it runs on all cylinders. But I'm not totally clear if the power comes from that, the voltage regulator, or the engine control module.



I'm stumped, not sure what to look at now- HELP!

The 1200 uses a spring operated diapragm type pump. If the spring is pushing againt the diapragm and the pressure is high enough you would get just what you say. It might be normal and you are barking up the wrong tree. What's the big picture? What does it do or not do?




Second thought. If I remember right it has a safety built in it somewhere. The pump will only run for a few seconds after you turn the key. If the motor is not running by then it shuts off. Very vague recollection. I think it's so the pump would quit if there was fire rather than keep pumping and feeding the fire.
