1997 Pontiac Bonneville fuel pump won't pump

Turn the key to the on position and have some one listen for a hum coming from the gas tank area.

IF none check for power getting to the pump.

How many volts are getting to the pump?
Should be 12.6V.

Did you check fuel pressure spec?

I assume filter was replaced at the same time as pump.

IT will start when adding carb cleaner to the throttle body?

Strongly recommend replacing the fuel filter or it will void your warranty.

Check fuel pressure before filter if your getting good power.

We need to know if good power is there or if the pump is putting out good pressure. At the rail it may show low, but a plugged or kinked line may be present or a bad filter. Not sure how you determine the filter being clear, but if you didn;'t check pressure before the filter, you don't know. Unless there is something that can tell beyond what I know.

What brand are you using. Hopefully a delphi on this.

That is the only brand I use on GM. Airtex, and carter for example are garbage. In my experience.

Check for the power and good ground or pressure out of the pump would be my next step.
