Hi Jimmy,

Is the pump actually working? Did you service it at a shop or by yourself?

No spark either? Check the ECU to make sure it hasn't been damaged.

Write whatever has been done during the fuel pump servicing, as well as other changes & indications you see.

HALLELUJAH~!!!!!!!! CAR HAS STARTED!!!!!!!!!

What I did was I took the pump back out and I checked it.
I don't know if it is while I took the pump out or whatever, but one of the wires got loose, so I had to resolder that, and the hose fell off so perhaps that's why I wasn't getting gas.

So we re-installed, and I think somewhere along the point, I pulled a fuse while the key was in the ignition. That I guess blew the fuse.

After I installed the pump the 2nd time, I didn't hear the pump priming so I suspected something was up. Tried to jump the car (very low on batteries) and still wasn't priming and working. then I got the bright idea to swap the Fuel pump fuse for one of the high beam fuses.

So the pump then prime, I got liftoff, and one of my high beams was dead.

Gosh, I'm so happy right now.
