Unplug the computer and then turn the key on. The fuel pump and the fan should immediately power on. If the pump dies not turn on, check for voltage at the cut off switch. From there, you'll know which direction to work to solve your problem.

If voltage is good, check the harness that runs to the tank. You could have a bad connection there, at the sending unit... or even inside the tank.

So I've got the computer out and cycled the key a few times and still have no fuel pressure or anything so when I check the cut off switch I should have 12 v right? And I'm not sure but I don't think the fan came on either when I cycled the key as I have nobody to help me right now

With the PCM unplugged, the fan and fuel pump will run continuously.

If they dont, check your fuses.

I tried the cut off on my pickup so I know the switch itself is good but idk about the voltage I haven't had the chance to check it yet I'm coming up on 7 days off so I'll be able to check it then
