Default intake Feul Pump change

ok i have a 98 trans am i changed pump to a granetelli 255.and found out my pressure was low. So i just opend tank and the prong peice with the wires was not fully connected so i bent the little metal peices back so it could snap back in place.Could that have been the reason for low pressure i have a new pump summit warranty swap out so should i just change it any way?

mebbe...lower voltage.

make sure its not leaking also.

if you got a fuel pressure guage
turn the car ignition on (not start the car)
turn the car off

pressure sure rise to 50+ and hold

if not..u got a leak in the tank from the install

with the car off...the pressure should hold contant..and will slowly..like 30 min or so drop back down..not a few seconds.

you got a hose leak either the hose connecting to the pump or the same hose connecting to the tank.

which is also probably why you arent getting full pressure..when u initialize the pump the gas escaping and cant build full pressure..and since the line is pressurize...if there is a leak...the gas will escape.
