    ok guys i have a 2000 grand prix gtp and it wont start.... ive narrowed down the problem to the fuel pump relay and pcm.. the pcm does not give power to the relay to energize it... ive already checked the ground to the relay and it turned out good... also a wierd thing ive noticed is that if i take the relay out, the pcm will supply power but as soon as i put the relay back in, the pcm no longer gives power to the relay... any ideas? THANKS

    Take a look at the diagrams. I am seeing the pcm supplying only ground to control the pump.

    Hmm have you checked all the expected inputs of power to the pcm? I've never found anything clear on the supplies to the PCM as to what they are used for and supply when they come out of the pcm.

    does the fuel guage work? my guess would be try chaqnging the pump....also there is some type of resister under the front bumper by the windshield washer bottle...maybe faulty....also id look at ignition... if all these check out change the pcm.... my bet would be the pump tho. we know they are notorious

    He said he's not getting power to the connector going to the pump. Should rule out the pump.
    Said he isn't getting power to the relay, which can not relay the higher power to the pump.
    Resistor would cause the car to have a litle furl to start and run for a couple seconds then die each time the ignition is cycled from on to start and back off.
    Ignition is a possibility if it feeds the power the pcm uses to send to the relay.
    Wiring is possible as it might be leaving the pcm and have a short from the pcm to the fuel panel.
    PCM is also suspect.

    Yeah the fuel gauge works fine. i dont think its the pump... also a weird think i noticed is that with the relay out, i do have power at A5 but as soon as i put the relay back in, A5 no longer has power

    Reminds me of a bad ground or bad power.. It looks fine until you put a load on it.
