so i just finished installing my bbk shortie headers and bbk xpipe, was not as bad as i thaught. didnt have to jack the engine up or anything, fell right into place... everything that i disconnected i put back together, although my interior is out except the dash...

so here is my issue, the car turns on and can crank but the fuel pump wont turn on. when i turn the key i hear the fuel pump relay click but i dont hear the whine of the pump turning on. i tested the wires in the back and its getting volts...

any ideas or suggestions where to look at?

Bad fuel pump maybe

im not 100% sure which ones they are but you can jump 2 of the wires on the DLC (data link conneter by the drivers side shock tower) and it will "cycle" the fuel pump

i tried that and i heard the fuel pump relay click. still no whine...

bump?

have someone turn the key while you smack the tank with a rubber mallet... if the pump is stuck, this trick will un-stick it... however its a sign that you need a new pump

yea i tried that last night, even one of my buddys tried it (a little harder) but still nothing... im going to drop the tank right now and put a 12v to it and see if it turns on, didnt want to have to do this but....

so i just jacked up my rear and my friend turned the key and the pump came on... have really low fuel, could that cause it? im filling up a tank and gonna put it in and see what happens...

Just one more thing to check,

You checked the 12V between power and ground on the actual chassis connector, not hot to frame, because you may have a loose or partially broken ground to the tank.
