I changed my fuel pump because it wouldnt kick on. it still will not kick on. checked ecm and relay all seem to have power going to them. but now my gas gauge is saying i have an empty tank when i have a quarter tank. So would like to know what else could be wrong since the new fuel pump isnt coming on and gas gauge isnt working properly now

The fuel pump had better not run without the engine running. If it did, that would be a severe fire hazard if a fuel line got ruptured during a crash.
