Thanks for the advice. I will try fuse 32, 11, and 5 tomorrow...Are airtex Fuel pumps any good? I found them on line for about $150...Or i will try to get discount at Advanced on new one..
One last thing if i pull the fuel filter and turn the key and nothing, i know for sure its the fuel pump, or is that not recommended?

There is no need to pull the filter. In the engine bay under plastic cap on the fuel line is a port. Turn the key on remove the cap put a rag over the port and push the center pin in with a screwdriver or something. If the pump is on fuel will come out. If not you may get a slight trickle and stop or nothing at all.

Airtex fuel pumps are garbage...use that if you want to get rid of the car in less than a year. The Bosch pumps are about the best for the money, and generally will have a lifetime warranty if anything does go wrong.

You need the special tool. It's called a fuel line disconnect tool. They're like $10 at the parts store.

If you're talking about the clips as seen in this pic below, I usually squeeze those clips with a small needlenose pliers and pull the lines off:












You'll need to transfer those over to the new pump, so be careful.

quick question, I have pump out and B & C pins are power. Can I apply 12 volts to see if pump comes on? Is there any write ups about this?

I put 12 V from the battery to pins B & C, and the pump didnt come on. I know A & D is for the gas gauge readout, so it looks like pump was definatly bad. I will have to wait until next week to get new pump. So the suspense will be killing me....LOL

I always replace the fuel filter when replacing the pump, it's cheap insurance. wink

Because pump didnt turn on, when I applied 12 v (pins B&C) from car battery directly, I can safely say its dead correct,and this is 100% the problem? I am asking since I may buy pump online today. Also at Napa I was told if I submerge it in gas, there is not way i can return it. Is this right? Just wondering???

Thanks all
