Okay, you may want to write this down. When ever an engine turns over and doesn't start you check for two things first, those being spark and fuel. Now with that being said obviously being that you replaced the pump it is probably fuel. Can you hear the fuel pump running? Are the plugs wet with fuel? If the answer is no to either of those, get a multi-meter and figure out how to use it. It is one of the best tools you will own.

Did your rewire the pump? I know the stock wiring has been known to not supply enough power to the Walbro pumps and won't even run them. Happened to my good buddy. You should rewire it to get the full potential out of it anyways.

its hard to hear anything cause i have a real loud leak in my exhaust pipe and after i first installed it everything ran fine then i left it running while i put away all my tools then after like 5-10 minutes it died and i haven't been able to get it to fire up yet

did you rush yourself when doing the installation?

The car doesn't need to be running for your fuel pump to run. The fuel pump primes the system on the ON position or whatever the position is before START.

no i didn't rush but i haven't tried listening to it with the ignition in the on position

You got gas? maybe one of the lines came off?

[ta_ma3750]

yeah i just filled up my tank but wouldn't i have gas leaking somewhere if one of my lines was disconnected

i found the problem it was a bad relay but thanks for the help

[Riubens]

[ta_ma3750]

The fuel pump relay thats in the fuse box in the engine bay the fuse box should show you which one is the fuel pump relay
