I finally get the car parked and the positive battery cable was so hot a drop of rain fell on it and it sizzled. Well everyone was saying it was the alternator. I get another alt and I go to replace it and I notice the lower bracket is all chewed up, the alternator mounting hole where the bolt goes through is 2times the size it normallyis and the bolt has a 1 inch flat spot all the way around. so I go get another lower bracket aswell. I also notice that the 4 white wire harness coming off the positive side of the battery is all burned up. So I get that harness aswell. I get the alterntor in and the harness in and now I am getting no power to the fuel pump. I know the pump works because I hooked the pump up to a battery and it starts. Well I figured it was the relay.... I got another relay off of an Eclipse that is running plug it in and still nothing. All the car will do is turn over and not start. No power to the fuel pump. What I was wondering is why would there be no power to the fuel pump. Is there another relay or a fuse or something that could be blown somewhere or does it run off a relay in the fuse box. Please someone help me out here I am tired of having to bum rides to work. Thanks!
