Hey guys... need some help. A couple weeks ago, I hadn't started my car in a while (and I was fixing to move), so I went out and cranked it up. It ran for half a minute or so, kind of stuggling... It usually does when it's cold, but all of the sudden it just died. As if it ran out of fuel. It would not start back up. When I'm cranking it, I can't hear my 255 at all. I checked the wires since it's rewired to my battery, and it looks fine. The back half of the car is stripped so I can usually hear the pump pretty good, but I can't at all. The pump is wired off of old existing sub wiring. It had been that way since the previous owner had rewired the stock pump. It never gave me any problems. Should I rewire it with something else and remove the old stuff? If so, what should I use? Is it possible my pump could have crapped out on me? I haven't had it long at all... definitely less than 1 year, and it was brand new when purchased and installed. I haven't had a lot of time to mess with it, but I thought I'd post up and see what you guys thought before I started poking around. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Open up the tank housing and make sure your wires to the pump are good etc. I know lame... but I had my walbro connector come off while I was only 15ft from the house and had to push it back rofl.

Yeah, I'm going to... it's just a pita to get to since it's fwd. (bottom back of tank under car)
