I own a 1996 Lexus ES300 and just had the fuel pump replaced. The car started just fine immediately after replacing the pump.... but a couple hours later the car would not start. We placed a fuel pressure gauge on it and could not get a reading. So it seems like the pump is not wanting to kick on... but it has worked a couple times.

Any advice or feedback on this issue?
