Re: fuel pump wont turn on!!

Have you verified there is power to the pump? How long since the car was last run? Is the battery fully charged?

There's an extra grey wire with a connector in the harness just before the PCM (towards the pass side front) - you can pull that out of the loom and use it to test the FP. Did you use that to test it?
