well after changing the pump are u getting fuel? check for fuel BEFORE the fuel filter and after (eliminates the possiblilty of a clogged filter)

also check all your fuses u may have popped a fuel pump fuse or relay

retono

i allready did i think the fuel pump its getting no power since theres no fuel coming out of the fuel pump i also checked all the fuses idk

SpooledupRacing

I would gte a scematic and see if there is a relay or something that could be bad

retono

yea but can i just tap into some live wire and get my fuel pump to run with a switch lol i know it might be a stupid questions but i am new to cars this is really my first car

SpooledupRacing

yes u can my buddy has his setup to tuen on with the key and he has a relay in the middle as a breaker.

I would run it directly to the battery or power source and see if it kicks on and the car will start

my car turned off when I was driving when I first got it. It turned out my spark plug wires were mixed up if i remember correctly.

he is not getting fuel thats the first thing to fix before u go jumping else where

No, No NO! If you have the pump continuously run when the car is turned on, it becomes very dangerous in the event of an accident. The last thing you want is a high pressure fuel pump spraying fuel out of a broken line into the engine fire...

As a troubleshooting measure, this is fine.

Something easier might be to jump the fuel pump test connector. It's the yellow 2 pin connector at the passenger shock tower (sometimes it's under the airbox). Jumping those wires together will run the pump any time the car is powered on.

The original poster needs to look at things logically. Since the pump doesn't work:

1. Check for 12V at the pump on the appropriate wires. Is it there?
2. Test fuel pump relay. Does it work?
3. Check ALL fuses.
4. Does the pump run with the test connector jumped?
5. Does the pump run when you apply 12V directly?
