Re: New fuel pump & filter, crank without start

Do you have spark ?
Injector pulse ?
What’s the fuel pressure at ?

Until you know what’s missing you can’t diagnose . Unless you want to throw parts at it.

OK, this is update for the same issue >>

I just parked IT for couple hours and when I come to crank , it starts and for about 3 seconds and died, tried to crank many times again but it wont start , I had to toe it to my place.

Note : I parked in a slope , fuel tank was half full .. any thoughts . Thanks

You have to be missing something, fuel pressure, injector pulse, spark.
bad injectors (multecs).

Re: New fuel pump & filter, crank without start

OK just checked ,

Switch on , and there are no any pressure or fuel comes out of the fuel rail valve ? I tried to put my ear right next to the fuel tank access hole area and I was barely can hear the pump kick in with switch start .. I'm confused between a bad fuel pump or fuel pump bad relay , I don't know even where is that last thing exact location is

Why is this keep coming every time , car became possessed every time I parked it on slope , low driver side

Re: New fuel pump & filter, crank without start

Did you install the pulsator inline on top of the pump ?
you can bypass the relay by jumping the oil pressure switch.
sounds like you have a bad pump or it’s shooting out of the pulsator.
even though the pulsator job is to isolate the pump from the hardline to reduce pump noise in the line. I always put a hose in its place. They are known for leaking especially when removed and reinstalled.

Post 3 shows the ops gray wire to the orange wire. Some relays have a red lead to bypass the relay.
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tpi/...fuel-pump.html
yhe ops or oil pressure switch is backup Incase the relay fails. It closes when cranking the engine and 4psi is reached.
when you turn your key to the on position the ecm controls the relay for a 2 second prime.

Re: New fuel pump & filter, crank without start

First question would be is how much fuel you have in it?
