fuel pump issues
so i have a rebuild streetport s4 it has yet to run yet its started and ran for a minute a couple times but wont stay running. so i tryed a different fuel pump a walbro 195 lph and people said thats to low flowing so i ordered 255lph walbro and i got it in yesterday and got it all rigid up and wont turn on at all even if i jump the jump connector.

No, but it must be grounded and the Blue wire that is part of the Front harness which supplies the voltage to the fuel pump needs to have battery voltage on it when the key is turned to "on" and the fuel pump check connector jumpered. Also, the ngine fuse appears good from what you hear.

*sigh*
before you go ripping the whole damn car apart, let start here:
before you swapped the fuel pump the car would at least start for a few seconds, after you put the pump in it wouldn't turn over at all. ok, now stop and think. pull the pump out and inspect your work again. by jumpering the yellow 2 pin test connector you should be able to hear the pump running in the tank with the ignition key in the on position, do you hear it running? no, then check voltage at your power wires. you were getting voltage before you swapped the pump again so something is wrong there.
just last week i dealt with a walbro installation gone bad where the person wired the pump up to the red wire off the top of the tank thinking it was a power wire. unfortunately with mazda you would be totally incorrect, power wires are Black/White or Black/Yellow typically and this case is no exception.
FIRST thing you should do is retrace your steps whenever you do something and the result is worse than before.

yea i just found that out that its the black/white wire and i .04 voltage from that to the fuel pump ground. also i didnt do anything but take out the old fuel pump and put a new one in and used different wire connectors and wire do u think it would matter if there gold connectors or not because thats wat was on the stock one. also is there 2 relays the fuel pump runs off of i notice a relay in the back by where the fuel pump sending unit connectors connect.

okay i think i just figured it out the relay behind the head light that helps run the fuel pump if im correct and when i got the car they had this electric radiator fan rigged up so it ran all the time off of the relay behind the head light. i got a new radiator that had a connection to my wiring harness so when i got that i ripped out that relay because it had long wires all over the place. now i just need to figure out how to rewire it back so it works how its supposed to.

all i have in the shop right now is an FC with a microtech and that was ditched long ago so i can't get a reference at the moment.
it should have been hooked up via a 5 or 6 prong oval plug on series 4's that came off the harness just below the relay at the RF headlight.
