No Fuel 1996 Camry

[mrlarry]

I have a 1996 toyota camry 4cyl. It was driving fine and I stopped the care and went out to start and it just turned over. I can spray starter fluid in intake and it fires to spark is good. I listen for the fuel pump and no sound. I check for voltage at fuel pump and nothing. I was going to jump b+ and Fp at diagnostic plug but Fp has no metal in it. I exchanged ECM relay, nothing. Could factory alarm cut power to fuel pump or some other cut off. There is also some kind of drain from my battery with ignition off. Any ideas????

Some of the wisened elders should correct me if I'm wrong, but I had always understood fuel pump failures to be gradual in nature -- as I understand it, the car would have stalling issues, power issues, etc as the fuel pump performance diminishes gradually.

Given that, this sounds electrical -- like some kind of short in the system some where. I'm not sure about the factory alarm, but that sounds like a realistic possibility. Wish I could help more -- only suggestion I could offer is to look at the electrical signals at the pump itself and test power supply voltage with a multimeter.

Is that possible?

Well I've had fuel pumps fail like airplanes on water. Sometimes they sink slowly and other times they just go straight down like a rock.
OP says he's got no power at the pump, so I'd look at the wiring. I thought someone here had a similar problem recently. There was no power at the relay even. Someone suggested looking at the inertia switch
