Pump voltage should be 12 volts, i think you may have a bad gound going to the pump tank unit,

2003 eclipse cranks but will not start ign. ok, fuel pump does not run when key is turnned on, but runs when jumped staight from battery. scan tool will not connect. data link has power and ground. check...

You might want to double check that connector to the fuel pump. These cars are known for melting the inside of the connector and causing a poor connection. You'll need to remove the pump also to check the inside of the pump connector. Look for a dark brown discoloration. If you do have this discoloration, replace the pump module and the electrical connector. You may want to test the voltage to the connector to make sure that you have 12 volts going to the pump

2001 jimmy sle. I just replaced the fuel pump. Fuel guage works. Pump does not. Checked fuel pump relay- its ok. Trucks turns over but won't start. Whats next?

Test for ground and power at your fuel pump connector. Also, the sending units sometimes come without the pump itself wired in. You have to actually splice in connections sometimes. If you get stuck, dropping the tank again and removing the sending unit to inspect could be your next step.

OK I HAVE REPLACED MY FUEL PUMP IN MY 2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM SE, THE FUEL SENDING UINT IS WORKING BUT THE PUMP IS NOT WORKING ,I HAVE CHECKED THE FUEL RAIL AND HAVE NO PRESSURE AND I HAVE ALREADY CHANGED...

O.K. this is going to be long but stick with me.
The gray wire that goes to the plug at the sending unit is the one to run the pump. We need to get power to this wire. This wire runs to the fuel pump relay. The relay has 4 pins one is the gray wire-one is the 15 amp power for the pump that has battery voltage with the key in the run and start position. one is ground and one is the relay trigger from the ecm. Pull the relay and look real close on the bottom side of it by the pins there will be numbers 30,85,86,87. 85 and 86 control the relay 30 is the power from the fuse and 87 is the gray wire going to your fuel pump. If you use a test light and see if it lights up between pin 85 and 86 when you first turn on the key (should come on for 5 seconds or so). If not we have a problem on the computer side. If so go to #2 below. If not ground test light and try 85 then 86 if it lights up on one of them when you first turn on key the other post (of 85 or 86) has a bad ground.
#2 So we now know the relay circuit is good Turn key on and check for voltage between post 30 and ground. if there is voltage then run a jumper wire from battery voltage through a 15 amp fuse to post 87 if the pump comes on its the relay if it stays off then there is a open in the circuit from the relay to the pump. don't forget to check for a good connection where the wires go into the plastic on the top of the sending unit. reply if I typed to fast and I can walk you through any step you have problems with.
Good Luck and God Bless

My 1990 Jaguar xj6 Sovereign won't start. On Thursday, I drove home from work and it ran great. That evening, I went out to start the car and it tried to run, but kept dying. I've checked all fuses and...

Obviously, the pump is not receiving any power and your rube goldberg is not doing the trick. Get a hold of a schematic and you will do the job right. In the meantime just hookup a wire from the battery plus terminal to the pump plus terminal with a on/off switch so you can turn the pump on and off manually.

Fuel pump on 1994 caprice not pumping fuel. its a new pump. replaced pigtail harness and relay. checked all fuses and used test light to check wires connecting to fuel pump.

I've run into new pumps that didn't work. If there is power at the pump and it is not pumping, then the pump should be replaced, again (under warranty).
