Well cant hear or feel the inline pump working at all. Jumped it from fuse 4-6 and nothing. Relay seems to be working,so i ordered a pump,filter,and check valve along with new balljoints. Will install when i get the and should have the problem solved.

Pulling my hair out.
Replaced fuel pump relay,fuel pump,fuel filter, all fuses, cleaned fuse box very well. When i turn the key on the fuel pump does not turn on... When i jump fuse 4 to 6 the pump runs... When i jump 30 to 87/2 the pump runs. Car will start/run/drive right now cause i primed the pump,but it will not in the morning. Why will the key not turn on the pump?

Man i think i either try a used ECU and if that doesnt work I guess I have an awesome parts car. I do not believe I can reconstruct an ECU.
