I replaced my fuel pump, and my car turns over but doesn’t start. I tried checking the fuse box, I tried to reconnect the fuel lines that sit on top of the pump.

Hi,

Do me a favor. See if it starts if you use starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we still have a fuel related issue. If there is no change, I need you to check if there is spark to the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how that is done:

Try this and let me know the results.

Take care,

Joe
