Im new to the forum and I have heard most folks on here are very knowledgeable. Hopefully someone can help with my problem. I have an '88 LX, 306 with trick flow twisted wedge heads, stage 2 cam, track heat intake. last year I was having problems with the car a little sputter here and there then something with the fuel gage. fThe car finally stopped and I had to have it towed. I thought it was the fuel pump so I put in a new one and the car would not start. when you turn the ignition to accessory the fuel pump does not turn on. I also noticed that when you re-connect the battery and or turn the car on accessory it also does not purge any fuel in the ingectors. The vehicle will turn over but not hit. I tried my buddies computer but that did not help. I then took a battery with two wires and put them directly on the fuel pump wires and the fuel pump worked. I also did this to the old one as well. I am kinda lost at this point. I would really appreciate any help!!

Possibly a relay, also I would check your inertia switch. Jrichker has a good fuel pump troubleshooting write up, do a search and I'm sure you can find it
