Sure, check your grounds...esp thermostat and valve cover one. Add one as well, somewhere along the manifold(s). Then check your main relay. They seem to be known to go in the hot summer heat. Just happened to me after my ls turbo swap. Good luck, hope this helps.

we can hear the realy click, but the pump doesnt engage.. also we tried to see if the fuel rail was getting any fuel and it had like 2 drops.. any other suggestions?? it ran yesterday just fine... we just slapped a t28 and 450 injectors.. we had the ecu chipped, but that wasnt the case, we tried another one non chipped, i still cant hear it engage..
thanks
