Vauxhall Astra fuel pump issue
Discussion
Hi all,
My Astra died a week ago, left me needing to get it home via RAC. It's a 2005 mk5, z14xep engine.
The RAC gave me the engine codes of:
P0201
P0202
P0203
P0204
Which is all my fuel injectors, a few months ago a fuel pump fuse died on me leading me to think it was issues to do with that.
I'm not a mechanical person by any means, but after having spent an hour googling and youtube a few things I went out and managed to get the car to start by jumping the fuel pump relay (pin 30 and 87).
The car started right up, without any issues.
I tested the relay with a 9v battery, it clicks as it should. I don't have anything with 12v to test it... The fuse on the fuel pump is intact and fine and hasn't blown since.
So what does this mean? Am I now right in thinking that the ECU isn't telling the relay to turn on the fuel pump and this is a ECU issue?
Thanks
