Fuel problems

Welcome to 2CarPros.

If it starts with starting fluid, then it is a fuel related issue. Can you hear the pump prime when you first turn the key? Does the aux tank pump work or is the vehicle not running at all?

Since the work was recently done, I would suspect it is either a wiring issue or the new pump has failed. What really needs done is to first confirm the pump is not running. Next, confirm there are no blown fuses to the fuel pump. Check to see if there is actually power to the pump and check for ground.

I'm not sure where you are located, so rust can be an issue and have an affect on the ground. Also, I would confirm that nothing has come disconnected or damaged as far as wiring.

Let me know. And by the way, I looked everywhere for a wiring schematic for the pump and because of the year, I had no luck. Try to test the simple things, fuse, power to pump, and ground. Also, if there is power and ground, then you can suspect the new pump is bad.

Here are a few links that you may find helpful when checking the electrical components associated with the pump:
