97 Rav4 was running fine until last week. Started stalling with increasing frequency as days went by. EFI relay and fuse are good. Circuit closing relay is good. Not getting power to the fuel pump. Took cc relay out and used a jumper and now getting power to pump and pump is running. Checked relays with 9V battery and ohm meter. Please don't tell me the ECU is bad

Got pump running. Still cranking but not starting. Ignition coil is putting out about 8v. Plug wires and plugs check out.

it probably has a bad circuit there, but rewiring the fuel pump your way, using wire and a 15 amp fuse, would work fine on that old thing
