I have a Gen 1 (1989) MTX and I'm having a severe problem...
The car itself isn't in the greatest of shape and I am aware that these vehicles can go down quickly if not taken care of, but it is my only daily driver and if I can't get this fixed I'm up sh*t creek without a paddle or a life jacket... lol
The Problem:
The car instantly just shut off on me as I was doing about 45 after coming out of an intersection going uphill... I was low on gas, but not near E, a lil under an 1/8 if I remember... Once I got the car pulled over and had a chance to check it out, i realized that I wasn't getting any fuel to the engine... my first instinct was the fuel pump as to I couldn't hear it cut on when i turned the key as usual.
My attempted solution:
I have tried 2 other spare fuel pumps that I have once I dropped the tank, and still no power to the fuel pump, I found a source online that lead me to what was called a Integrated Relay Assembly that is right at the front of the car under the plastic shroud that gives out the belt info... I swapped that out with one off of my other SHO, but even then still no power to either of the 3 fuel pumps that I have, ( none are new, but I do know that 1 of them does in fact work)
Conclusion:
I can only assume that the IRA off of my other SHO is fried as well due to the fact that I'm still not getting any power to my pump... What I'd like to know is if there is something that I am missing... I apologize for typing this much, but i wanted to be as clear and concise as I could be as I am desperate to get this car back on the road as my whole family is relying on it...
