I have 12 volts at the fuel pump for a second or two when the ignition turns on. So that is shaping up to be more likely than not, a bad/stuck fuel pump.

What is there left for me to do?

I have read that I might be able to 'hot wire' the fuel pump and even perhaps reverse the polarity momentarily on the pump to shock it into life.


The car is parked across the road which is not ideal. I would really like/prefer to be able to drive it back on my lot so that I can repair it and it is not out in the elements. We have had bad hailstones here lately.

I am tempted to do something like this to get it across the road:

Doable?!
