so when you turn the ignition on.. you're not hearing the pump prime for 2 seconds?

get yourself a helms manual.. check the fuel pump relay, check your fuses, and do a search on this board.. it could be a bunch of things.. but start with the easiest first and work your way up..

Check the fuse by the battery. Maybe it blew by chance.

have the fuel preasure checked at the rail. if you do not hear the pump and the relay is ok and there is no preasure dump the tank. I have to do it again and fight the 3in exaust because the aftermarket fuel tank from 1a auto is binding my fuel sender.

pop your hood.. look over by the battery.. there should be 2 thick wires (one red, one orange) going into a black box type weather pack fuse.. the black weather pack fuse should be bolted or attached to the fender.. pull the cap off and check to see if its blown.
