    So I came out from dinner two nights ago car started then stalled. Didn't hear the hum of fuel pump so got it towed in morning. Pulled it all out and put in new Delphi pump. Tried to start the car and got same thing. No fuel and no hum from pump. Checked the fuse under hood it's good and switched the relay with another but still no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

    Found the problem. The connector into the trunk was all corroded on top. Dealer doesn't sell any of the pieces so I ended up drilling a hole in the blank side of connector and running a wire to jump out the corroded one. Now she runs but I have a new issue. My fuel gauge isn't working and set a CEL for sending unit high signal.

    The EVAP canister is a whole separate plug. The sending unit fuel pump and pressure sensor are all in one plug. I just jumped out the power wire that was corroded away. Does anyone know which wires are for the sending unit signal?
