Cadillac Repair: 95 Fleetwood Brougham wont start, fleetwood brougham, fuel pump relay


Question
We have a 95 Fleetwood Brougham D'Elegance.  Today it won't start.  Battery is good, we have cranking power.  No fuel seems to be coming through.  Where is the gas filter?  The manual is useless for repairs and cannot locate a Chilton book for our year. There doesn't seem to be fuel coming through to start car.  Any suggestions at all will help. The fuses we checked so far, according to the book, are good.  Thanks for any help.

Answer
Fuel pump test:

1. Get yourself a helper.

2. remove the gas cap.

3. have one person listen in the gas tank at the gas cap opening.

4. have the other person turn the ignition switch to the ON position ONLY so as the dash lights come on. Do NOT attempt to start the engine.

5. As soon as the ignition key is turned to the ON position, The person at the gas tank should hear the fuel pump run for TWO SECONDS and then it should STOP.

6. Does it ?.

7. If it does NOT run for the 2 seconds the fault is either the fuel pump or the fuel pump relay.

8. You need to put a fuel pump gage on the fuel line to be sure your getting sufficient pressure.
