Fuel Pump not working?

As i stated in another thread, my car died when I went, quite slowly, over a speedbump (may just be a coincidence). It's trying to turn over, just isn't getting any fuel. I took the rear seat off, and you can NOT hear the fuel pump turning no (Walbro).

My fuel pump is rewired, so I replaced the relay, still no luck. Checked the voltage at the relay, it's getting the 12v constant, and 12volt when teh key is turned but the pump is like I said, not engaging.

Is my fuel pump dead? or is there anything else that would cause my pump not to engage? Would to much pressure (faulty fpr) in the lines cause the pump to not engage? or anything like that? I just want to make sure I check everything before tearing my pump back out tonight. And if I DO tear it out, and my stock pump doesn't work either, it'd be nice to know what else to check.

Thanks.
 
If it's getting power, and not making noise then it's prolly burnt up. I don't see your fpr causing your pump to not pump, so time to replace the pump. Might want to buy a Supra, as it's way more reliable. Walbro isn't the most reliable in the world.
