when you replacedth fuel pump, if you got a small harness with it and your didn't put it in then you should have as that may be the problem. Also replace the fuel filter if you didn't when you put the pump in. Was it the correct pump? then get some choke cleaner and clean the throttle plate on both sides as well as the oblong hole. then see if that has helped....
