I just recently purchase the fuel pump. I put the fuel pump in and I still does not turn over to click over. I don't even use a fuel pump go on or anything like there's no power going to it. I'm wondering if it could be a relay or I don't know. the car feels like it wants to start but there's no gas going to the fuel injectors.

Hello,

When you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for 5 seconds? Here is a guide to help us get started:
