Default DAMN! Fuel pump install, No worky???

i have a 1988 crx SI.

I just dropped my tank yesterday and installed a new Walbro 255 lph in place of my factory unit. Then decide to give it a try, turn the key and nothing at all. no priming noise, or anything.
is it possible or likely to have blown a fuse the first time when trying to turn it on? and if so, what fuse is it that i should upgrade? im planning on dropping the tank again today so i can test the damn pump under 12v (durect frim battery) to rule out a defective pump. any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bryan

why don't you check your power lines and fuses before you drop the tank?

I assume you do not own a helms. Doesn't your car have a diagram on your fuse panel cover? If all else fails pull all of them and see which it is.

check power at the connector under the back seat before you drop the tank too. and get a service manual.

My car does not, in fact, have anything labelled as a fuel pump fuse. After some dicking around one afternoon, I realized it's the one labelled "ACG" under the dash. Go figure. This was on a 93 Civic EX.
