Re: electrical problems relating to fuel pump



As you can see from my last post, I am suspecting that white/purple 
wire to be a problem. I will get an ohm meter and test out the wire 
you are speaking about also. Hopefully that helps. Thanks, and I 
will let you know what happens.

ps. If it is that wire, how hard was it to replace? Do I need to 
lift up the car?
