    2002 Stock M3 Vert Died, Cranks Over But No Start

    I've had intermediate engine dying while idling on a hot day. Few Days Ago It Died And Wouldn't Start Again.

    Tests I've Done:

    *I have checked the plug at the fuel pump and I get about 1.5v constant without change after moving the key two position 2.
    *Checked the resistance on the fuel pump(+-) and get high resistance like 400MegaOhm.
    *Fuel Pump won't do anything(engage) if I connect it directly to power 12V.
    *I also confirmed continuity test on fuel pump fuse # 54 is not blown.

    Could it be that fuel pump shorted the fuel pump relay? Also have trouble locating this long black ekp fuel pump relay on vert car.



    I just bought Radium ENGR Walbro 255lph retro kit to replace oem fuel pump.


    Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

    You can also use a rubber mallet and tap the fuel tank to see if the pump starts working again, this is known way of testing it funny enough.

    Oh and I forgot to add that the fuel pump relay is in the rack behind the glove box, it will be above the GM-V and the most left relay.
