FUEL PUMP INSTALLATION (1998 “Return Style” Vehicles Only)

A. Jack up the rear of the car and support with jack

stands.

B. Mount the fuel pump to the underbody in front of

the fuel tank on the passenger’s side. Drill a 1/8”
hole and secure the pump using the supplied
adel clamp and #10 sheet metal screw. (See
Figs. 6-a, 6-b.)

C. Remove the female hose end connected to the

fuel filter inlet.

D. Insert the pump inlet hose assembly into the

female supply hose fitting by gently pushing the
fittings together and making sure they are locked.

Plug the female connector located on the pump

discharge line onto the fuel filter inlet, making
sure the hose assembly clears all sharp objects.

Mark and drill a 1/8” hole locating the relay next

to the fuel pump as shown in

Figs. 6-a and 6-b.

Secure the relay with the sheet metal screw
provided.

G. Lift the center divider located between the rear

seats and remove the rubber cap beneath it to
reveal the fuel pump wiring harness.

H. From relay terminal #85, tap the yellow wire into

the factory fuel pump harness. Tap into the
purple wire with pink stripes using the supplied
scotch lock. (See

Fig. 6-c.)

Connect the short red wire on relay terminal #87

to the (+) terminal of the fuel pump.

Connect the short black wire to a clean ground

from relay terminal #86 (the relay mounting screw
works well).

K. Route the remaining long red wire from relay

terminal #30 to the battery. Use the supplied fuse
and fuse holder before terminating at the 12V
source.
