[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 1027719, member: 58988"] Has the fuel filter been replaced? If it has before the fuel pump replacement, I'd replace it after replacing a fuel pump (stuff gets disturbed in the tank and may clog the filter). Try turning the key to the Run position (without attempting to start) and keep it there for about 10 seconds; return to Off and repeat and then try to start. You are trying to determine whether the fuel pump is pumping enough fuel to pressurize the system and or whether there may be a restriction in the system. Check the fuel system pressure. Where'd you get the fuel pump? Personally, for parts that are critical or are difficult to replace, I go with OEM because the auto parts store lifetime warranty (they can afford to offer these because the parts are "inexpensive") does little good if I have to do the job again.
