My car was overheating because of a number of issues. I replaced heater core, thermostat, fan, ignition module, ccrm relay. Now when I let the car warm up and shut it off it wont start for 10-15 mins. The fuel pump is not activating. What do I need to do next.

I'm not sure of engine litre size, I looked at a 2.3L engine? Check for voltage and ground at the fuel pump motor connector, engine cranking, pink wire is voltage, black is ground, use a voltage tester. If you have good voltage and ground, with no pump action, suspect the pump. Try banging the bottom of the tank, see if pump will take-off?
