howdy partner/s!!

i've just got a problem with ma teg!!
i was driving along and all of a sudden the fuel cuts out! no sign of fuel being pump into my engine, when i jumped out of the car i smelt something, smelt a lil like fuel. i think this maybe a fuel relay problem or the pump itself,

one question is!! where the heck in the fuel pump relay! or is it part of a main relay! and how would i test it to see if its working???

thanks!

might i add its a 96 model VTiR

main relay is under your drivers side dash , right near the right foot kick panel. Its a large grey fuse holder , with a bunch of wires (about 6-8) sticking out of one side. Use a 10mm socket or spanner to get it off and see it its OK

all good!!! i just ripped out the fuel pump! got myself a test light chucked it onto the wiring and the relay seems to be sending a 3 second signal through to the fuel pump! soo from what i seem, my hypothesis is that the fuel pump has seized!!!

soo if anybody could gimme info on getting hold of a fuel pump! price, brnad etc & how soon they can get me one! as my car is on the side of the road!
