Frozen Gas Line?

You can't test for fuel pump power that way.

The REM controls the ground to the fuel pump. It uses a PWM scheme to control the speed of the fuel pump to regulate the fuel pressure. Just having +12V at the fuel pump connector does not mean that the pump is getting power. It has to have ground at the connector too.

You best best to check for fuel pump power is to get a 12V light bulb (like a brake lamp or backup light) and wire it across the two fuel pump power terminals in the connector.

Oh. Damn. Well thank you Joe, I had no idea! Do you know which two terminals are the power terminals? If not, I will just experiment with them all lol.
 
Thanks Fast! I won't be near the car again until Tuesday night probably so I'll scrounge up a bulb in the mean time

Pins 2 and 4. Pin 2 is +12V power and pin 4 is ground (electronically controlled).
(Note that pin 1 is a positive current feed for the fuel level sender and pin 3 is a straight ground connection for the fuel level sender.)

The pins number clockwise 1, 2, 4, 3. Pin 4 is even with one of the bump outs on the shell. The wire to pin 2 is green with orange band. The wire to pin 4 is black with red band. (Don't confuse with pin 3 which is brown with red band.)
 
Thanks Joe! I'll bring a flashlight to make sure I get the right pin :)
 
Ok it's been too long since I posted, but when I checked the correct pins (thanks guys) I saw that the pump was getting voltage but wasn't coming on. Soooooo I saved some pennies and I am ordering that OEM replacement Walbro tonight. Installation looks very straightforward so I'll let you all know when I get it and how the install goes! Thanks again for all the help.

Hey all, got the pump on the way now for $134 shipped. Thats about 6 bucks cheaper than Fuelpumps.com had it. Thanks again for everyone's help!

I'm missing driving the Lincoln, so I cant wait to get the damn thing rolling again

Ohh man.. You don't know the feeling..

Not anymore I don't! The damn thing hasn't run since November :mad:

The work truck is a 4 banger 4wd crew cab Chevy Colorado, so it's great in the snow but its an awful lot of weight for that little 4 popper to pull around. The LS is going to feel like a rocket ship again LOL

Mine's been in the garage since around then.. The first day I get it out, it will feel like 2X the power of my Ranger..
And that's at 1/4 throttle.. :lol:

Yeah, I know the feeling.

My son mostly drives the Ranger. Usually the first time he drives the Ranger again after having driven an LS, he will claim that somethings wrong with it because he has to give it so much gas to get to 70. (I've only driven a few Rangers. All were 3.0s, and all drove about the same as his.)

Haha I hear you! You know its bad when I hop into my gf's focus and say oh this is quick lol. I took the TL1000 out for a spin when we had nice weather 3 weeks ago and the thing scared me lol

70? the work truck is 0 to 60 time is about 12 years haha. The 3.0 has to be quicker than this thing. I raced a new prius up a hill from a stop the other day and wouldn't you know it, that Eco-friendly bit<h beat me! LOL
 
Hey everybody, thank you for your help and suggestions! It was indeed the fuel pump causing my no start issue. I finally got a chance to install the new pump last night and she runs! So good to have her alive again. The most difficult part of the repair was removing the lock ring without the tool and then replacing it and having it not cross thread! Reinstalling it took almost 30 mins and about 75 tries. But its done!

Thanks again everyone!
