Are all the pumps not working when tested ? seems a bit unlucky to get 3 bad pumps ? have your tech's check the TPS ?
Throttle Position Sensor
Throttle Position (TP) sensor resistance increases linearly as throttle is opened. TP sensor sends a voltage signal to ECM (throttle angle signal). ECM uses this signal to calculate fuel injection duration. TP sensor is located on plenum-mounted throttle body.
