Hello, did you replace the fuel filter when you did the fuel pump? I always recommend replacing the fuel filter, and the fuel pump relay when replacing a fuel pump, especially a 1995. A clogged fuel filter is what probably caused the first pump to fail,
I recommend the fuel pump relay too because they get carbon build up inside after so many years and it's good to include it in the replacement.
