Anyone who has had a fuel pump die on them, please help me ;)

Lol, electrical problems can kick our asses, can't they?
None of my options would include ripping out the factory wiring, though
So, you're not getting power BEFORE the main 80A fuse, or AFTER it? There's a big difference in which way to troubleshoot depending on it...

I'm pretty much down to the fuel pump, either it's dying, or the connection is bad. I've tried a new ECU, I've checked all my grounds, got my injectors cleaned by Cruzin' Performance, etc.
I'm thinking that it might be the fuel pump itself or the elctrical connections going to it. I haven't had a chance to verify this yet, as it's rather cold out there this week, but I was hoping that someone has had this problem before.
Thanks!

this is definatly kicking me in the ***. I think the worst part is that I have no ideas what it could be..

Karack - I guess I was just talking about the engine harness.. the interior electronics seem fine (for now).
Okay, guys, what about this? I'm going to have a bit of extra money coming up here, do you think that building/switching to a MegaSquirt stand alone fuel controller would fix my problem? I'd switch over to a distributor, so the ECU wouldn't have anything more to do with the engine. I'd run completely new wires to the essential things, and remove most of the crap, since I'm only useing 25% of the engine bay wiring harness right now, anyway.
This would also allow me the control I need to run the supercharger I want to put on....

double post.
Since it's already here, i'll ask the question:
Do you guys think I should start a new thread?
