New fuel pump test help
I am trying to test the fuel pump in my new tank setup. I know this might be basic but: if i put 12v hot lead on the grey wire and ground the black wire on the frame this should run the pump unless i am missing something?? I only ask because it is not running the pump motor. If i measure the ohms across the black ground and the grey wire it reads 3.2 ohms...any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Yeah, it should definitely be pumping if you've got a hot connected to the gray wire and a good ground connect to the black wire. Have you taken a multimeter from the hot wire to the ground just to make sure you've got potential? Is this just a replacement stocker, or is it something aftermarket?

I have a multimeter but am not sure what i should be trying to measure? Should i be checking resistance across the 2 wires? It is aftermarket tank for a 69 camaro, spectra tank supposedly has OEM fuel pump in it.
