I jumped it and still nothing. I do have the pumps rewire. I check the inline fuse and that was alright. I have to look more tomorrow.

I thought about setting it on fire.

Let me ask this. I put the fuel pump socks on even though I have a external filter. Was that bad Ideal?

I will work on it today after work..

First thing I will try is to remove the fuel line going into the FPR and see if fuel comes out when I crank it.

Running an F-body out of fuel is BAD.Running dual pumps at a low fuel level is even worse!!!
You probly burn't up both pump's. I make sure all FI cars DO NOT go under 1/4 tank for this reason.

If you have a canister filter you can put the guts in wrong and block off the fuel flow.

Or maybe the hose a the pump blew off (since you hear the pump run). You could switch power to the other pump too.

you'd need to prove theres gas in the car in order to set it on fire first...

what if the fuel filter was fucked up? maybe clogged, could that cause an issue like this?

Definatly a possibility you blew a hose off one or both of the pumps in the tank. Seen it happen more then once with 340 installs. Anytime you mod that isolator keep the fuel level above half.

Damn wish I knew that before. How can I check to see if they are burnt?


No chance on the fuel line blowing off. Its a -8 line with the fitting on it. I am thinking Slowhawk has got it. 2 pumps with about 1 mile on them. Is that a record of some sort?
