Resolved 1G Fuel pump install, now no start?

[mygsx2120]

I just installed a 255 pump, AFPR and all SS lines on my brothers 1g AWD. When we got done and cranked it over it wouldn't start. I assumed I wired the pump wrong but after researching I don't know. The power wire is on a post on the bottom of the sending unit that has the red wire coming in from the top. I grounded it to the screw that the stock pump uses for a ground.

Any one know what I could have done? How long does it take the gas to circulate through the new lines? I turned it over for awhile but not very long, maybe it just never made it up to the engine?

Any thoughts/ideas are welcome, it is his DD so I needed it back on the road like yesterday. Thanks

When I did mine on my 2g I didn't realize it but I ended up kinking the fuel hose. My car wouldn't start and I figured I wired it wrong. Also, can you hear the fuel pump turn on when you click the key forward?

+1 ^^

I also had this problem you could hear the fuel pump turning on but still no start. when we loosen the fuel line it spun, we tightend the crap out of it.

I don't think the pump is coming on, but I think my wiring is right so that is why I am confused. All of the lines are stainless now so I know they can't be kinked.

Is the fuel pump new ?
you could get a current tester and check the power wires.
you can also ground the fuel pump and run a hot wire straight from the battery to see if the fuel pump functions.
if the fuel pump comes on after that I would begin checking my fuel pump relays.

If you can get the pump to run but no fuel i guarantee that you have the seal in the fuel pump sideways. I just did the same wed.

I figured it out, bad ground.
