    make sure your gas cap is on tight,, I know sounds stupid but you'd be surprised.

    yes bend the tab like posted in the pic, put it back in, this sets the fuel pump in hi speed mode. by passes the resistor that may be dead. if it still dont work, then the pump maybe bad, id open the trunk hole and test for poser at the plug with the key turned forward. or have some one turn the key while you are holding the test light.

    the pump swap, best to cross reference the part # first. look up each cars pump, then see if the part # matches.

    open the trap door in the trunk. un plug the pump, test for power, if you have power the pump is most likely dead.

    So did you try bending the tab over or did you just replace it?

    with a test light, ground the one alligator clip, then touch one pin at a time inside the plug, do not cross them or the fuse will blow.
