Re: [DML] Fuel Pump

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Jason,

This is a 50/50 situation. In about half of all DeLoreans the RPM relay will activate when the ignition is switched to the run position, in the other half of the cars the relay will not activate until the ignition is placed in the start position. Available battery voltage, RPM relay model and age, and voltage drop in the associated wiring harness all effect this situation.

To answer your question; weather or not your RPM relay activates when the key is switched to the "on" position does not indicate any system malfunction.

I have what could be a fairly dumb question. Whne you turn the key to the on 
position should you here the fuel pump run for a couple of seconds like they do on 
more modern cars or what? If I jump the rpm relay I can here ir run clear as day but
not when the car is running. If it should be running then what should I look for to get 
it to run like it should? Thanks in advance........................Jason
