Hello, I have a 99 acura tl that is a built dirt oval track car we just did a swap with 2001 motor and 99 tranny. Car ran great other than a few sensor plugged in or not plugged in figured it all out and race day prepimg the car letting it warm up to spray seafoam the car cuts off and the pump won't prime. I changed the main relay soldered the old one and no luck other than it rained earlier that week anyone have any experience with this?.
Are you getting power over to the pump? If this is just for track purposes, you could do some fun shenanigans and wire the pump up separately. I bought an Avalon once with the fuel pump wired via a stripped CAT5 cable shoved into some random fuse and tapped into the +12v on the pump plug. Something similar should work here.
Also, got any vids of you tearing up the dirt in this thing?

I have power to the plug for the main relay but I'm not sure on if the voltage is supposed to go up once you turn the key. If there is a way to bypass it I would do that. The car was ran last 2 years body got so bad had to switch bodies left the 01 motor changed entire wire harness for 4 speed trans. Got videos of last year so far only did bout 2 laps with v tech solenoid issue.
Try giving ACC-switched power to the fuel pump directly. I don't recall which wire on the plug it is, but generally there's two thicker wires for the pump, and one of them should be identifiable as the ground. So you'll tap into the other one.

I have power that is always on on the first position. Other than. That nothing else.. is this a problem with the computer because all I see is that it goes from computer to that plug have a computer from a 2001 but dont know if that would work seeing as its a 4 speed transmission.
Do you know for a fact that the pump itself works? If it's getting battery voltage and has a good ground, that's all it needs to function at a basic level.

yes the fuel pump is off of the fuel cell tested works trust me I've done all the research. read these forums trans swaps 99 swaps wire diagrams both 99 and 01 two sensors remain un hooked im bout to re wire everything hoping to find a bad ground

Solved I read somewhere to test the fuel pump by just putting power to the fuel pump and seeing if it turns on if not then there's a ground issue if you have to put the ground on so I went back through and checked out my grounds and there must have been one that wasn't connecting right Because that feel pump fired right up Because that Fuel pump fired right Up
