Ok I just installed a new tank, a new fuel pump, new straps, new lines, etc. after my old fuel pump stopped turning on. Tank has no gas in it and I went to turn the key just once and didn't hear anything...thats normal since theres no gas right?

you should hear it power up briefly.. but I WOULDN'T RUN THE PUMP DRY LIKE THAT!!...and if you were putting a new pump in cause the car wouldn't start?? did you diagnosis the prob/ troubleshoot it correctly to verify the pump was bad???

I know I only did it once lol but ya I wanted to upgrade the pump anyway and I checked the connect back there for voltage when turning on the key so I know its getting electricity...

did you check your inertia switch?

jrt1990

ya that never did anything when I pressed it or do you mean for voltage?

^^^^if you have voltage at the connector your inertia switch is fine and has not been tripped

lol I figured so...but should I have heard something or should I throw some gas in there and be able to hear? lol its in my schools shop and awaiting a new intake plus its winter right now so itd be all that extra hassle to take some gas in plus it'll be really old by the time the cars running...

check the relay under the seat, it should click once, if it clicks more then once the pump isnt turning on

test for power and ground back at the connector.....just loop the test light
