Rover...wont start

[LRDisco94]

So...yeah drive to my grandmas today for christmas.. when i went out to start the rover.. no start... it just turns over... so after everything was done i started to mess with it....

checked the wires all connected, no sparking on the wires

then i checked the fuel pressure on the rail and nothing came out....so does that mean my pump is dead? or is there a fuse or relay? can my filter be cloged ???

All of the above, your pump has a fuse, a relay and a filter.
Most likely your fuse or relay failed, the filter usually causes problem that gradually get worse over time.

Even if the fuse looks good - pull it out and clean the contacts. Best of luck!

Well i drove over to my g-mas real quick... the fuse was good... i pulled it out and cleaned it...so then i located the relay but there was like 4 of them and i didnt know how to tell if a relay worked or not and i was getting bit up by freakin mosquitos so i called it a night....

so how do u tell if a relay is good or bad?

[LRDisco94]

Alright i wasnted able to find out which relay was the fuel pump.. so does anyone know which one would be the fuel pump??

there is two yellow one green and one brown ??? MY guess is the brown??

Also we checked with a test light and there is no power the the fuel pump... so it has to be a relay ?? no?

the Fuse was good

I recently had the same problem. I towed my newly owned 95 RRC to a reputable mechanic in my area. He said it was the alternator. 800 bucks later, and a day later i got it back, and the next day..same problem...

It turned out to be a wiring connection at the fuel pump, under the rear floor.
Simple fix using pliers to close the contacts tighter.

Hope thats what it is!
