135k G50 with a humming pump. I took out the old put in a used pump i bought off this forum. The pump turns on, I can hear it pumping. But car doesnt start. Not even a hiccup. Just turns over and over and over.

Is it flooded???? Will the alarm cut out ignition if it goes off??? I need help asap

Brian is correct. You need to tee in to the fuel line with a pressure gage downstream of the fuel filter and measure fuel pressure for a few seconds after turning the ignition on (while you hear the fuel pump running) and while engaging the starter (trying to start the engine). IIRC, it should be in the 40psi range.

Yeah hopefully I can get my money back.

The pump sounds good. It whirrs and doesnt buzz, but no gas is being pumped. I T'd into the fuel house off the fuel filter, no gas, not even a drop. so the pump sounds good but its pumping ****.

Speaking of the fuel filter... did you or didn't you?
