put your car on ON. DONT TURN THE CAR ON just put the key on the ON position. listen for the fuel pump priming. if it does, then your fuel pump works. now move on to check to see if there is spark. pull out a spark plug, connect it to the spark plug wire and ground the threads on it. have some one crank the car and look to see if there it is sparking.

EDIT: ALWAYS start with the basics

do what i told you to do on my first post.
turn your key on the ON position and listen. you should hear the fuel pump prime at the back of the car. it will last for about 2-3 seconds.
check all your fuses btw

so you dont hear the fuel pump prime?
you also got a new relay and all fuses are good?
then you might need a new fuel pump. or MAYBE the wires to the fuel pump, some how got disconnected or a ground is bad.
check your fuel pump

--> First things first, you need to un-hook both negative/positive cables from the battery to be safe, cus life is better then death.


--> Next, fold down your back seat using the key lock located on your rear speaker pannel above rear seats. There is one bolt that is holding your backseats onto the chassis which is accessible through the trunk of your car. Feel free to get all the way in your trunk to ge this bolt with a wrench in hand.


--> Once that bolt is removed, go back to the inside of the car. Push the top part of the back seat back into it's locked position so you dont have it all in the way. Pull up toward you on the back seat farthest from you, you will see two metal clip that hold the front of the seat in position. Simply mouever the clips of out their holes and the back seat should come free to take out of the car.

Seat removed. Look at all that lost change! You'll find some wierd **** under your seat lol.


--> Now that you have the fuel tank access cover exposed, it's time to release fuel tank pressure. to do this, you should open up your gas cap, as well as relieve pressure from your fuel filter. Make sure you have good ventalation so you dont start tripping off gas fumes.

--> It's time to take of the access cover, simple unscrewing of 4 screws will do the trick.
<
with the cover pulled up


--> Pull out the cord from the connector first


--> use a rachet to loosen the banjo bolt (prepare for small fuel leak, have rag on hand) as well as pull vaccum hose off of the nipple. Lastly, there will be 6 nuts that hold down the cover plate, remove those.


--> NOw you are ready to pull the fuel pump out of the gas tank. Pull up and at a diagonal to remove it, should just slide out like so.


--> Once you have it out of the car, it's ready to swap the old fuel pump with the new walbro fuel pump. using a flat head screw driver, gently pop off the green "safety clip" that is holding the wire plug together. Once you poped it off, unplug the connector. Make sure not to lose the green safety clip because you will need it again to reinstall.


--> Using plyers, pull the rubber hose off the nipple. NOw the fuel pump is free to come off the mount, just pull on it and it should come off( it may feel hard to come off, but that's just cus the rubber bushing makes it have a tight fit.)



--> Compare your new walbro to your Oem fuel pump to make sure everything looks the same. In my case, the company i ordered from did not send me the correct filter to for my application, so I had no choice but to re-use the stock filter.

--> For reinstallation, just do all removal backwards. snap fuel pump into mount, connect rubber hose to nipple, plug connector back into place, snap "safety clip" onto the connector, slide fuel pump down and diagonal into fuel tank, hook up rubber hose, tighten banjo bolt, plug wire connector, tighten 6 nuts to fuel plate, screw down fuel tank access plate back down tight, clip back seats back into chassis, tighten back seat bolt. COMPLETE
EDIT: YES!!! i did it right!

The fuel pump might be located under neath the rear bins. There should be an access panel once you remove the bins. The fuel pumps will probably look 99% the same as the one above. So you can probably use that process of swapping the pumps.

Had the same problem a couple of months ago, problem was the ICM (Ignition Control Module). Replaced that and my del sol started right up. Could be the same problem you're having.
