ESP don't work on the internet
Using what induction ?
Using what ECM ?

Nothing about the pump operation should change with EFI ,( unless you have butchered things )
The pump will run off the existing relay controlled by the ECM as it did with the V6 and
will run off the OP switch ( assuming you are installing the switch in the new engine )

You should have 2 thick and 2 thinner wires on the relay connector.
The thick wires are power through the relay to the pump ,the thin wires operate the relay by going to ground through the relay coil .

You have the relay ground wire, what is left...?

Re: im stumped

I got the black wire red both thick brown leading into car and a green one with a white stripe I can hear the relay click back and forth but I cannot seem to get the fuel pump to prime and give me fuel up top at the bay it worked fine to begin with I got hot power heading to the pump via brown wire my green im assuming is for oil pressure switch? thats what triggered these on and off right?
