Ok. I'll try to keep this simple and deal with one problem at a time.
Long story short my girl friends 99 xj was all rusted up. So i got a great deal on a 96 with no powertrain.
I have the engine, and trans in the 96 and am working on getting it to fire just for a few seconds before i replace the water pump, front clip and tcase and stuff as i hate spending time putting stuff together only to have to remove it when something isn't working correctly.
Anyway, I swapped the black and white part of the harness from the 99 into the 96 so i can keep the 99's intake and injectors and TB sensors, as a direct plug in fit. I do not have the starter hooked up as i just want to flush the fuel line out before i connect it to the fuel rail i hooked up the battery and made sure no connections are shorted. When i turned on the key the fuel pump never primed (along with fuel gauge on peg passed fuel mark, and the oil pressure is maxed out also and it stays there with no battery) Well while playing around checking fuses (non are blown) i figured i would check the brake lights. When i pushed the brake pedal (key on) the fuel pump runs.:doh:
It will only run when the key is on and the pedal pushed, it will not run when the key is off and the pedal is pushed.
the bad thing about this is I never pulled the drivetrain, it was pulled when i picked it up. But the reason it was parked was it had a bad trans (verified by tearing it down its full of sludge)
Any ideas? I'm going to pull the brake fuses and see what happens then with the key on but i'm lost lol
It never pushed any gas, but i'm guessing they emptied the tank when they pulled the drivetrain.
