How do I do that? I took down the tank and checked 2 power connectors they seem to be in place. Its a brand new Airtex pump.

"if yes pump or earth for pump"??? Can I disconect all the hoses and leave the pump plugged in to see if it turns on? Otherwise Im not quite sure what youre meaning.

if you do that run a short length of hose into a container, safer that way.

Okay thanks. Ill do that in the morning and will get back with you. So if the pump does work what should I be looking to troubleshoot next?

If the pump works you will need a fuel pressure gauge to check pressure

I took the cap off and pressed on it while the key was in on position. It didnt spray any gas. Then I tried to start it while the cap was off and still no gas sprayed out of it.
