TRASH IT!!!

 

One wire goes connected to the main relay and the other is a ground. Maybe it's not connected right. That pump is quite loud and you should be able to hear it.

 

Maybe you should qiut renching on your own car and have a qualified mechanic check it.

 

make sure you complete the circuit when testing the pump on the battery ...Ground the negative terminal on the battery too.

When testing in car make sure you grounded pump to shiny metal and not paint... normally you have to use a little sandpaper on your paint to expose metal.

i grounded it straight to the battery and powered straight from the battery just to test it, but it doesn't do anything...

thanks for the helpful feedback

 

sounds like you have a defective unit.... get it replaced.

 

yea guess i'll have to. thanks for the tips on the turbo install too. appreciated

 

Did you try running the pump without gas in the lines? You can damage them if you run them dry for any amount of time.

 

You're quite welcome

 

check the plug to the fuel pump for power with a test light. make sure it has power with the ignition ON. check fuses too. pop the stock one back in and see if it primes.
