lol that is pretty broad of a description do you hear the FP prime when you turn the ignition? check your ground on your battery as well. check and make sure the batt has enough juice to fire up the engine if it does check your wires,plugs,dist,coil. if not any of those than you might not be geting fuel is that the original FP?
lol is right
i dont know what a fuel pump sounds like when its priming would the starter cylinoid going out while im driving cause the car to just die ? and are there two wires going to the postive connector or just one i had a 280 z once that had two wires and if that smaller one was not connected the car wouldnt start lol dont laugh

no the neg comes off the neg post and ground's on the frame etc..........the positive(red) thick wire goes to the dist/starter you car will also not run if this is unhooked but it might be loose either the neg or positive will cause you car to run like balls if they are loose or coroded. cool??????????????
ok ill check those ,one more question when i had the mechanic replace the starter ,few months ago i had aproblem with it took it back when i got it back he had placed a wire from my stater cylinoid to my neg battery post why would he do that and was that wrong ok that was 2 questions thank u so much u have helped me alot
