Not enough power to fuel Pump

Ok, so I got a problem trying to get my fc to start. The fuel pump works and I tested it on the battery and the walbro was strong compared to the stock. Anyways, I test for power to the sending unit, it is getting power, but it isnt activating. With no volt meter, I cant say how much I am getting. I've rewired and tried so many things but it isnt working. My friend has concluded that it is the main relay because it was a little hot and its the last thing we can think of, but we haven't tried replacing it yet because he left to las vegas and wont be back till tuesday, and the car is at his house. I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem and if anyone can give any suggestions before he comes back.

try jumpering the fuel pump test connector at the rf strut tower, its a 2 pin connector just jumper the pins, could be a faulty AFM but it may be just wiser to do away with the staged voltage relay and do the fuel pump rewire modification since you are running a walbro anyhow.

It's not the main relay. That has nothing to do with the fuel pump.

Go buy a DMM. You're shooting in the dark without one.

As NZConvertible said, you're wasting your time trying to troubleshoot this without any way of checking voltage.

You're trying to **** in the toilet...in the dark.
