Default New intank pump, ran fine for a while, now it doesnt want to start??

i put a new pump in today, started right up ran fine. 2 hours later i come out and try to start it, nothing. the pump has power i hear it turning on but i have no fuel pressure none. i put gas in manifold through the booster vacuum line, started right up so i know its not the sparking.
does the pump have a fuse?
any ideas besides a bad pump?

if u hear the pump running, than it's not a fuse. smell gas anywhere? Maybe a hose was loose and with the increased pressure blew it off.

Oh ya, how much gas is in your tank? fill it up to the top if you can. You might have not installed it incorrectly and the pump isn't reaching the bottom of the tank.
I had this problem. I think I ran out of gas with 5 gallons still in the tank.

turn your car on and undo the banjo fitting on the fuel filter a little. if no gas comes out and you hear your fuel pump on then you know there either isnt enough gas in the tank or the line is clogged
