Have fire but don't seem to be getting fuel. Tried to listen for the pump to run but could not here a thing. Had the wife turn ignition on while I listened at the tank. Still could not here it. Any way to rule out the pump by placing a jumper in the electrical? Checked fuse. OK. Will have to check or replace relay to rule it out. Don't want to drop tank if I can rule out the pump.

Locate the wiring harness at rear side of tank and check for battery volts when first key on
also check for good ground
try this while the wife cranking go under the tank and hit the middle of it with you hand few time hard if that get the pump to initialize and run the pump no good

Did not get much done this past weekend due to rain. Did notice the only way to get the electrical connector unpluged is to lower the tank a bit. It's tucked up between the tank and the floor pretty snug. I will try to raise the car on jack stands next to get a little better access.

Located the harness. Gray and Black wires. When I cut the ignition on I have voltage for 3 or 4 seconds then none. Should I have voltage constantly or only until the fuel pressure builds up? I can not here the pump running at all.
