have you checked for power at the pump? sounds like a broken wire, or bad ground to me.

There is a Fuse and a Relay in separate boxes under the Hood. Did you check those?

Did you check for fuel pressure at the rail and how is the filter? I know these are all simple things but you need to get the easy stuff first.

after putting on the wiring harness "hot wire" from racetronix that pump works but i'd like to find out what is wrong with the facrory wiring going to the pump as well. being that there was power at the factory plug my guess is a ground.
