Got it. Spray for 1 solid second. What should I expect? The engine will run for a second or two and then die?

that means you got no fuel. pump might have failed on ya. try beating on the bottom of the tank, if you get f/p and it fired up, you know the pumps bad for sure. sometimes you can shock them back to life. sometime not.

Hmmm. Ok. Pump was replaced 3 years ago. Only ran for about about 3000-5000 miles. So pretty new. Could be though. Maybe it seized up from not being run. Autozone rents the pressure gauge. What are that chances of crud from the tank jclogging something? Isn't there a sock over the pump intake? Could that be it?

you need a pump, or its not getting power. time to start testing stuff.
09-18-2017
It'll fire... and it'll stall out.. You tell us if it runs and follow the steps to fix the issue.

Ten-4, Billy B. Appreciate yours and Scotty's advise. Might get out there tonight to work on it. Definitely tomorrow night. I'll report back with my observations.
09-18-2017
and?

Did exactly what you guys said. Definitely a fueling issue. Video below:

open the trunk floor, test for power at the pump when the key is turned on, it only gets power for like 3-5 seconds, then turns off. if you got power, you need a pump.

I'll be out there tonight. I'll take a look at the pump. One thing I forgot to do was bang on the bottom of the fuel tank. DOH!
So either the pump died after providing some pressure the first time around, or something is clogging where the fuel enters. Those are my guesses. I re-checked all the unions, the rail connections and evap. connection... everything looks good. I kept the ends of the fuel lines sealed when installing them so I don't think anything got inside of them. Could have happened, but really a long shot.

Dont over think it, when I first bought the gp the guy said he recently did the fuel pump. 30 days later I was stranded 60 miles away from home because the pump went out. Chinese crap, which it still has after I replaced it 6 years ago, havent dropped the walbro in yet.
ANyways keep it simple, baby steps and breathe!

Yeah. For sure man. Just disappointed it didn't start.
Hoping it is just the pump. I'm guessing I'm using a Multimeter to check for power? I knew I couldn't avoid learning how to use one of those for too long! Especially with this piece of junk. Lol.

simple test light will work.
09-20-2017
Didn't get anything done last night. Dad duties took precedence. When Googling the issue, this video pops up. Explains how to do the light test pretty well.

Hell...you said you did a rewire. Check that damn fuse. lol
09-20-2017
btw...you sprayed...and got fire.
Now you know what's missing. Easy peasy
09-20-2017
Definitely narrowed it down. Thanks man. I checked the fuse that came with the kit. Kit has its own fuse. Goes alternator >cable>fuse>cable>fuel pump connectors. You could say it's an "in-line" fuse. 20amp. Checked it, and it was good.
Does the fuel pump fuse, in the fuse box matter anymore? I wanna say that the rewire bypasses all that.

And fuel pumps are expensive. Middle of the road is 166. Advanced wants 330!! for an AcDelco. Rock wants 240. Pulled some parts off a good looking Bonnie SSEi in the yard last weekend, might grab the fuel pump from it, for 20. Need to research if it will fit.

You mostly likely need just the pump not the whole assemblyOriginally Posted by CHI2000GTP

look up The Racers Edge aka TRE pumps. I had good success with them and super cheap for a high flow pump. But check power back there before you order
