I would double and triple check to make sure all connections opti coil etc ect are plugged in.One of the connectors could have a losse conn.Also check your ground wire make sure goodantighty.Best of luck to you.

Dumb question, but is the starter solonoid clicking, and/or engine cranking? Might wanna beat on the starter with a crowbar and try it.

Your old pump may have been temporarily frozen up. All the jostling of removal might have freed it to the point of being able to run when you hit it with voltage. That does not mean it wouldn't conk out again after running for a while.
