Default fuel pump and radiator on a 94 vortex

i put a brand new radiator on. in feb. now i have a leak somewhere hoses are tight.i smell antifreeze like a burning smell. what can be my prob?

i have the tank dropped and cant get to the lines to change the pump. what can i do im starting to get frustrated.?

*Combining Similar Threads*

i checked the wiring going to the fuel pump with a tester. and the light was dimm. so i called a local auto parts store. the told me relay.bought one wasnt relay. is there a way to run a direct hot wire to the pump.i also cut the ground wire and connected it back together. the pump was working b4 i put it in the tank. need some insight


*EDIT by swartlkk* - Combined similar threads to cut down on confusion.

The burning smell of antifreeze, means you probably have a intake manifold gasket leak, which means replacing the intake manifold gaskets. It could be either upper or lower, but most likely lower, since it would drip onto the exhaust (hence the burning smell). i would get this replaced asap and then change your oil because most likely antifreeze also got in you oil, or may while replacing the intake manifold gasket, causing the oil to foam. This should cost around $300 or less at a non dealer service facility. Otherwise it would also be pretty easy to do yourself, just use the search function to find more info on how to do it your self. Hope this helps you out.

check your ground wire for the fuel pump. my pump stoped working and come to find out "some how" my ground wire was cut. spliced together and it worked. saved me $75 for the pump.

So what exactly have you done? You have multiple threads that all state different things... Please lay it all out here so that we can better help you without reading through all of your threads... Things get very confusing if you keep posting up different threads on the same problem all stating very different trains of thought. Keep it all here PLEASE!!
