When you turn the key over you can hear the new fuel pump we installed prime, but the car will not start.

Scan for codes if this is a TBI unit it should be 9-11 psi at TBI and you will need an adapter to check it. Also, these beasts used to crack the reluctor in distributor and it would cause a no start/run problem. If not ignition signal TBI does not work. See link.
