check ure relay,
make sure ure ECU is completly plugged in as well, happened to me on the weekend, it was hanging out a bit (damn jumper harness, wont fit in the stock location) and i guess my gf unplugged it a bit....car would crank over, but the fuel pump wouldnt kick in

"Knocking" on the sending unit and pump can shake the unit and indicate if a poor connection is the issue. Sometimes wires rot due to corrosion and many mechanics hit the tank with a mallot while key is on. Sometimes the pump kicks on for a second or more.

Personally I think its the relay.

Good luck...

Your pump is fine; just pick up the main relay.

a new fuel pump is in the 150 to 200 dollar range so i figured i can't go wrong
