Pump is good. Relays are good. Fuse good. I believe it is a short from the ignition to the ECM. Which wire is it? What color?

Good evening.

I attached a wire diagram of the system. Check the fuse listed for the relay.

Also, the wire for the pump is listed as well for you to test. It may be the pump itself not working.

Thank you so much for replying so fast. The diagram was very small and hard to see. A quick question though. If the fuel pump switch is not working does that mean the oil sending switch will not work also?

No, the oil sender switch is a fail safe in case the relay fails. When it gets oil pressure on cranking, the oil pressure switch will send power to the fuel pump.

Try downloading the diagram to your computer and then you can change the size.

Thanks anyway, but, the tiny diagram just got blurry when I tried to enlarge it. This is what I have so far. I have power to the relay and power to the pump. Both are good. Still no fuel is getting to my carburetor. I am going to replace the fuel filter next. Is there a possibility that it has something to do with the oil sending unit? Or is there something else that could be keeping my fuel from getting to the carburetor?

If you have power to the pump, I suspect the pump being your issue. Make sure the ground is good as well.

Pump tested fine. I am getting fuel to the throttle body. And to the injectors. But the injectors are not spraying. I got new injectors. Still nothing comes out.

What was the pressure to the injectors?

Can you get a noid light to see if the ECM is commanding the injectors to deliver fuel?

check the power to the injector. There should be one wire on each injector that has battery voltage.

Sorry it took so long. I am getting signal on one side of the injectors but no pulse signal on either injector.

Okay, if you are not getting a pulse on the ground side of the injector, the ECM is bad. The quad drivers are not commanding the injectors to deliver fuel.
