i would try unplugging the battery and let it sit for a few minutes and then hook the battery back up. Let the car reset itself and see what happens. it's worth a shot.

Ya bang it while you are trying to crank it. If it starts up then you shorted the pump.

most likely you burned it up... they are gas cooled (which is kinda ghey) so no gas means too much heat and bam

Go with a walbroro, its cheaper anyhow

If you did burn up the pump and your car is a 98 get a cheap walbro. If it is a 99+ get a Racetronix Walbro. The install is MUCH easier than trying to cut up everything. It is the same pump but racetronix puts a different shell on it to make it fit like factory. You get something better than that cheap *** rubber hose to connect it to the fuel line.
