Hello i'm hoping for some good advice. My 2.0 car was experiencing hard starts for a while then eventually quit running all together.
The fuel pump will not turn on and the fuse for the pump (#18) does not seem to funtion. When I try to put a voltage tester to the fuse I get nothing on both sides. When putting the tester inside the box where the fuse plugs in, I only get voltage when goin deep into the fuse slot, much deeper than the fuse reaches.
I have a bad feeling about the electrical components, I also recently lost A/C, it burnt the fuse and gets new fuses hot so ive left fuse out for a/c.
Im not sure about replacing parts that just might blow again. can I wire in a separate inline fuel pump to get it running again. Will leaving the fuse out of the #18 slot cause any other problems? I'm not sure if any other important components are hooked to it. Thanks for any advice you can give!
