It should read battery voltage. Try tapping on the bottom of the fuel tank while having someone cycle the ignition. If pump comes on its going to need a new fuel pump.

Hi proia, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

it did before i cleaned the tank.

Power the blue wire at the fuel pump connector from the battery and double check ground wire white and black and see what happens-Power on it and the ground ok-replace the fuel pump.
