My Fuel pump wont prime, junked? which new one for 24lbers?

well. yesterday i was working on my car. running wires for my MSD box.. etc. i started it for a minute or two. blah blah, running like crap like usual but it ran etc.

now today i go out to finish running the wires. start hiding them etc.
i put my key in and turn it to get my cd player goin.. i notice the fuel pump wont prime. so hm, i thought maybe its because last night i ran the battery low from having the doors open. and cd player goin all night running wires. or maybe the computer is screwin somethin. so first. i tried the interia switch in the hatch. no fuel pump still. disconnect the battery, and put it on the charger.

half a day later. i connect the battery back, no fuel pump priming.
i just installed 24lb injectors, and a pro-m mass air meter for 24lbs.. havent really DRIVEN it since the injectors, because it ran horribly. could this extra strain have killed my pump?
What can i check to see if the pump is actually dead, or what. id like to be able to sell it at least and upgrade.


NOW! what size pump should i put with my combo? and im planning on doing 100 shot in the future (wet shot). Is there any brands i should avoid? or any superior brands.

How hard is it to install a new fuel pump? any trps/trick? can i do it in my driveway?

thanks, derek

do you have juice to the relay? is the relay good? since you were playing with wires, that could have done it. the pump really doesnt see extra strain from anything. it pumps what it can, and if its not enough, you will run lean.
i would check the wiring more, since thats what you played with. check for the puter input to the relay when in prime mode, etc.

good luck.

well i really didnt touch any wires. or cut or change anything at all.
all i did was route some wires from the passenger seat up and behind the cd player. and through a rubber grommet on the driver side. i dont see what i could have messed up for the fuel pump
