Default what would make my fuel pump. not prime?

hey i recently am trying to get my d16y7 turbo 89 hatchback started and i heard my new walbro 255lph hp fuel pump prime 2 times and tried to start it. didnt start then i went to try again and the fuel pump didnt prime, and ever since.. so i was wondering what could have made it not work? like bad wire harness? or a fuse or a need proper grounds i was told under the hood? if anyone knows anything i can try or maybe know the problem please let me know thanks.

Sounds like the main relay, the main relay primes the fuel pump.

There is also a fuse called the "Alternator Soldenoid" or sumthing like that. Random *** name, but the FP goes thru it. mine blew and the FP didn't prime.

haha, I dunno about the alternator fuse causing that. But definitely check ALL your fuses. After that, there are a few wires to troubleshoot. I think it's covered in the CRX workshop manual located here:

Trust me, I was stuck outside my doctors office for an hour trying to figure that **** out. Turns out my fuel pump wiring was grounding out and blowing the fuse. once I got that sorted out, it started right up.
