Don't fret, breh. Sometimes people get confused with what's in the FSM, and would rather have things in terms they understand a little better, or explained by someone they know is knowledgeable on the subject.

Not everyone knows everything about cars, which is why they ask. Although I do agree with you to an extent...

And to the original poster. At one point I was having problems with my idle on my 7, and did these tests to the AFM I sent you. It checked out at the time. Hopefully nothing has changed since.

The one he bought from here was from me. It sounds like a fuel delivery problem of some sort, IMO, from what I've read so far.

O.k so I checked the fuel pump to see if it made the "whirring" sound by bridging the terminals of the check connector with a jumper wire. And the whirring sound continued for a long time, meaning that the system is not pressurizing enoungh. So the next step would be checking the fuel pressure. But i found it a strange that when i took off the fuel feed hose there was no fuel what so ever..................

The fuel lines should be pressurized when cranking.

Yes. If there's no fuel pressure, check for a leak and go over the lines and hoses, filter, etc.

Pull the fuel line off the fuel filter. The aft line of the fuel filter. See if fuel drains out. It should for a few moments.

Put a hose on that line and the other end in a bucket. Jumper the fuel pump check connector and turn the key ON. See if fuel flows or not. Fuel flows? Then change the fuel filter, refit the lines to the filter and then remove the feed line from the filter at the engine. Jumper the fuel check connector and turn the key to ON for maybe two seconds. Fuel should flow.

Just FYI. In the past I've depressurized the fuel lines and then turned the pump on. The fuel rail gets fully pressurized in less than three-four seconds. No sense running the pump longer than that.

Also, it could be the fuel strainer on the END of the FUEL PUMP is clogged or VARNISHED over. Check it out.

Ya i can get fuel flow, but only when I jumper fuel check connector. My problem is when the key is on "ON" position the fuel pump doesn't turn on.

I guess you missed my post in this thread where I responded to his question about how to test the AFM. Far more useful than anything you've "contributed" thus far in the thread.

Can I get that in English? No clue what the hell you're talking about.

Anyways, think what you will. I've helped a lot of people. God forbid I make a random post (albeit true...) once in a while.

Now... to help some more.

Yes, the car should start with the AFM disconnected. While starting, the car uses the "Start Fuel Map" in the ECU. Once started, it switches to the AFM. So, technically, it should start then die shortly thereafter.

Go to advanced search, type in Hailers for the user, and "Start Fuel Map" under the terms.

Sounds like you are a little confused. As far as I understand the fuel will not flow with the key in the 'on' position (unless you do the jumper). The fuel will flow while cranking regardless. If the AFM is disconnected, it can start, but it won't stay running for long. Air needs to flow through the filter box to open the AFM and if the tubing isn't connected to the engine while you troubleshoot, then you need to temporarily jam it open.

Like the man said above, the pump will NOT run with the key to ON.

The jumper must be installed in the fuel pump check connector and the key to ON.

Or the key HELD to START.

OR the key to ON and the engine running.

The engine will start without the afm connected, but only briefly, IF fuel is available in the rails.

See the following jpg, it might be of interest. I'm not saying it will fix your problem, but it's sometning you should be aware of: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...hmentid=150448

Frankly, I don't see where MYBABY wrote anything wrong and he isn't the type to pump up thread counts.

It seemed earlier on that you had caught on to the fact that with the key to ON, that the pump would not work. Guess I was wrong about that.

I'd still try the things I mentioned in my last post above this one. It can't hurt.

DON'T EVER BE A PARTS SWAPPER. Cost too much.
