just took the car out to return some movies and it dies. turn the key fuel pump does not prime so i dont even bother tryin to start it up. the car is a 86 with everything from a 88 gt. converted to mass air. fuel pump is 2 years old with probably no more then 200 miles on it. i changed out the fuel pump relay and still dont hear it clicking. when i turn the key on. also i did that jump test, and fuel pump still did not turn on. lately i have been driving the car and it hasnt been showing problems at all except all of a sudden pulling out onto the road. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

alright well, problem is solved. i found a hot wire melted in the trunk of the car. wasnt even hooked up to anything is was spliced from the fuel pump relay. so i just cutt the wire down and taped it up just in case it needs to be hooked up. looks home made to me so i might just eliminate the wire

by any chance did the Inertia switch pop up.

in the trunk there may be a hole in the trim on the left side. if you look in the hole is there a red button. If so put your finger in it and push down to make sure its down
