Fuel Pump..no Fuel Filter..no Fuses..no
Hey guys, I've replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, and double checked all the fuses. The 4runner (1989 22re A/T) still can't start. How demoralizing. Changed the big BIG PITA fuel filter and still nothing. Ugh, what a job. Anyway, any thoughts on what else I can start troubleshooting?

Im guessing you've narrowed it down to fuel..
Could be a few things..
EFI relay, CO relay, wiring between COR and afm, Afm

3RD group down is EFI junk.
That should give you a start..

In this, do what it shows in the first picture with a paper clip..

Im sure you know where the diagnostics box is..
if it runs then id say its your COR, Which theres another test for that but I cand seem to find it right now..
Supprisingly enough I have a COR for sale

Thanks scuba. Yes, I've tried jumpering the Fp to B+ at the diagnostic box. The paper clip get hots so I guess there is juice going through it. Funny I still can't hear the hiss that I thought I would if the fuel pump was being energized. I've come across the link you forwarded, and I'll try to make some sense of it. I don't think it is the EFI as I can start it for a quick second, then dies. It's like it gets a big glup of gas and then nothing.

I havent dealt with an issue like this for a little while so im trying
Ok, So as far as I know, theres a sequence when you start it and the ecm takes a reading from the afm and if its right it will go through the COR keep the fuel pump going and keep the truck running.
So im lead to believe its either a problem with the afm or the cor..
Also, When you did the FP, did you disco the lines that arent hardwired?
If you did you might have hooked them up backwards..
I know you say youve checked fuses but did you replace the EFI relay..?
Like I said, Trying my best here, Maybe 4crawler can chime in..

You should open a fuel line after the fuel pump to see if it's actually pumping.
It might be ok.
I have two 4runners and have never heard the fuel pumps run.

Here's a few words from a friend of mine.
Hope that helps some

Engine is not starting so…
Bypassing the COR (FP and B+ jumper) doesn’t make a difference, but jumper gets hot. Means pump is pulling voltage so… hmm… pump not working / seized? Check for voltage at the pump. No voltage at the pump? Check the FP wire (with the pump disconnected from the wiring) for continuity to ground. Continuity? Yes= wire is shorting out. No= pump is bad.

It sure does. I haven't replaced the EFI relay fuse. That's another 30 bones I didn't want to part with. But, I'll give it a shot. I think though, given what you quoted, is that I should test the power at the fuel pump. You quote your friend who said that when jumpering the Fp to B+ the paper clip is hot which means the fuel pump is drawing voltage....sooo, with a new pump i'm taking a guess that it could be the continuity to ground. That's was I'll look into next. Not sure though, is the ground from the pump? or from some other area? Also, it could be a wiring shorting out, but I'd have no idea where to look for that. Also, I have no idea what discoing your referring too, and I don't think it is the dancing I may pull one of the fuel lines and see if there is Any flow. But it'll have to wait till tomorrow.

Discoing = Disconnecting.
I had a problem when I had to remove my fuel tank, I hooked the lines up backwards when I put it back, I was getting a problem similar to this..

You will not hear the fuel pump because the pump will not start pumping until the engine is actually being cranked. Have someone crank the engine while you listen, if it is working, you will hear it. Just because it makes noise does'nt mean that it is working right though.

circuit opening relay
Hi Harold, I had a problem with the fuel pump suddenly cutting off while driving and also with starting, running for 5sec , then cutting off......Found the problem to be an erratically functioning "circuit opening relay". It is the final link after the fuel pump relay in sending power to the fuel pump!! Its a five-wire relay located behind the plastic passenger kick panal above the ECM, bolted by itself to a metal stay. I could only find it at Dealer for about $95..Ouch...Anyone know where to get one cheaper in aftermarket sources? When this thing fails, the only easy way to get power to fuel pump is by jumping the B+ to Fp contacts .

I had a problem similar to that for a moment . Then I realized I did not have the AFM connected. The AFM sends a signal to the fuel pump. Mine would start and run for a second then would die. Test your afm, it may have gone bad.....
