87 16v fuel pump?sounds like the knock box maybe the culprit, this is =
the unit with the vacuum hose going to it in the rain tray behind the =
Jentronic box.
Simple test pull the connector and with the key on ground position ten =
in the connector (verify the position in the Bentley) if the fuel pump =
relay hits then replace the knock box.

thanks all for all the advice,

Any one know what it means if you can get power from the fuel pump =
relay but not the fuse I have tried jumping the relay but I get nothing. =
The transfer pump will run when it is connected to outside power so I =
know it can work. I am thinking that it must be between the relay and =
the fuse? anny Ideas? =20
It would help if I had a better manual I got one on the way but would =
like to get this car running asap, all I got for the meantime it this =
awful haynes manual.

sounds like the wiring to the main fuel pump(the one outside the tank) =
is
the culprit here. There is a transfer pump inside the tank and you =
should
test that to make sure it is transfering enough fuel to the main pump. =
you
test the transfer pump by removing back seat and then the little black
cover. Remove the rubber fuel lines, one is a return line and one =
pumps
fuel to the main pump, plug the return line and put the line that send =
fuel
to the main pump in a glass jar or something, if you are facing the =
rear of
the car the line on the right side is the ouput hose. then when you =
jumper
the relay the transfer pump will start pumping and it should pump at =
least
10oz of fuel for 10 seconds of operation. also the tank should be less =
than
3/4 when you do this. This is per the Bentley manual and if you don't =
have
one you should get one, in most cases it is much better than the =
Haneys(sp)
manual.

there is a lift pump in the tank on a 16v contrary to what your manual =
says.
Lift up your back seat and you will see a black access panel. Continue =
your
electrical tests on that pump.
