240 sx will not start.............. Please help

[WhatWhat]

Hi My Engine will turn over but wont start. I have changed my fulr pump twice already once in 2000 and again in 2002 now its 2004 and I think it needs to be replaced again. Why do I go through so many fule pumps? If that is what it is.... PS Im not getting fule to the fule filter so does that mean it is a bad fule pump?

If replacing the fuel pump has corrected the situation before, then I would imagine that could be the problem. Why do you go through so many? Beats the hell out of me... are they being installed correctly? Are these pumps remanufactured? With my last car, I replaced the alternator 4 times... I just had 4 bum alternators... crazy but true...

Im not sure in the make of the fule pumps that have been put in but is there anything that anyone knows of that could be making the pumps die.

did you break up with some psycho b**** 4 years ago? because sugar in yoru gas tank would definately explain this. you might need a new gastank or clean that one out..

i agree with him, i think your gas tank may have a bunch of crap in it or something.

If you disconnect the hose that is below the fuel filter coming from the copper line, then you can turn the ignition switch to on and check for fuel that should squirt out. You don't necessarily have to try to start the car. Also make sure that the hose is wiped off and dry before you turn the key so that you can check for evidence of fuel. You can't be in the car turning the key and outside checking the hose at the same time, unless you have someone else helping you out. This should definitely tell you if it is the fuel pump. By the way, how do you go through that many fuel pumps?

Before you change anything make sure you have power and ground at the pump with a test light or logic probe.

It would really suck if you did all that work to not fix the car
