I just purchased a new VE today and I just had a question about the fuel pump. when the pump is going bad on these nissans does the fuel pump fuse kep blowing, because thats the deal with the new one I had to put in a 40a fuse to keep the car running P.S its and auto but rust free

 

that seems like a WAY high resistance somewhere in the fuel pump circuit

 

You have any experience on where it may be

 

nope, all mine ran w/o issues like that.

 

So this doesnt mean that the pump is gone bad?

 

Fuel filter could be clogged if its not the pump.

 

If the filter isn't clogged though would a bad fuel pump blow fuses??

 

If it is keep blowing fuses then i wouldnt recommend putting a bigger fuse to keep it running. You wil blow something big if fuse doesnt blow up. Fuses r there to protect major things from blowing up. Address the problem by reading the fuel pump wiring diagram.

 

Tru that makes sense I'm gunna replace the filter first, and then see where the can be some resistance by reading the diagram

 

You also have to worry about starting a fire. I don't know what the wiring to the fuel pump looks like, but the fuel pump fuse is usually 20a right?

 

A clogged fuel filter wouldn't make the fuse blow.

 

I was just speculating, higher load on the pump = higher draw, but it might not work like that.

 

this, congrats on the purchase! post pics! maybe u have a short somewheres?

 

Got mine from Chris Gregg awhile back. He might still have another one...

 

Its a 15a

 

yea like a starter thats what I was thinking

 

I will when I get a chance to take some

 

Do what?

 

I was kinda loss to!

 

Whoops! I was looking at your signature asking about a carrier bracket.

 

My fuel pump just went ahead and died on me at 153k miles. No warning. No fuses blowing. Just died... And left me stranded.

 

I found out the problem it was a short on the fuel pump sending unit and I took care of that no more blowing fuses, I also did the two front regulators just have rear brake line to do

 

Do you still have your car? I know a few months ago you were debating on selling it or keeping it.




I guess so since your still on here.

 

I sold it to a friend of mine. So I can keep an eye on it once in awhile.. And I still plan on sticking around here if nobody minds

 

:ban:
who am I to talk, I just bought a 4th gen.(again)

 

 

jesus. i thought you disliked them? lol.

 

they aren't anywhere near the car the 3rd gen is. They are however cheaper to buy than a VE.
I do miss my VEs, but I actually miss the I30t a bit more.
gotta update my sig now.
crappy pics of new car : http://internetautomart.com/gallery/95maxwhitese

 

you know i felt the same way about the 4th gen.
till i drove my dad's and johns black one (despite the fact that it ran like crap).
then once i test drove mine i was hooked.

and for $500 a 97 and a se....cant beat that

 

you never had a correct running VE

$300 95 SE with all the trimmings

 

The new VE!

Stock for now

Future Mods:
Ebay black housing euro's
Clear corners
Eibach Springs
G35 wheels
HID kit
Tinted windows
sound system
And thats all folks!!!

 

Bro i hope you're getting retrofit lights with those HIDs and black housings. Lol. If not, good luck not pissing off any fellow drivers

 

Lol I would but its to much work lol! I probably will do the retro fit down the line when I make bigger money(college student)

 

You can always find an Infiniti J30 and take the projectors out of that. Someone made a thread where he retrofitted them in euro housings. Shouldnt be too expensive. But yea i understand, I too am a broke college student lol

 

it's cheaper to do the retro right (though still not technically legal) than buy some dam wheels.

 

Im not getting the wheels till spring, and I just want some new headlights for some HID's if someone wanna do them for me ill take that
