I installed a new alpine radio, it had an alpine harness in it so it was an easy color to color cut and crimp install. I went to start my car to see how it sounds radio works but I have no fuel and car wont start. Ive checked spark it has spark just no fuel does the fuel pump wiring go through console? anything I could have accidentally clipped. Is there a fuel pump fuse i couldnt find on in either box. Im confused could it just happen to die now its a walbro 190 with rewire(not done by me) if that helps at all
 
There is a fuel pump relay on the passenger side of the center console by your feet. You may have bumped it loose when you were installing the radio and tugging on the harness. You have to remove the side panel and its mounted to the support beam on the inside.

When you turn your key to the on position does your cel come on for a few seconds and turn off? If not, check your mpi fuse. It's a 20amp on the battery cable.

Google "how to diagnose a no start dsm"
 
Make sure your battery is 100% charged. A friend of mine sold his project car off because of a no fuel problem. We messed with the relay and put a different hanger and fuel pump in but he could never get fuel. Low and behold the new owner put a new battery in and it fired right up.

This is not to say that is 100% your problem, but you may want to check in case you some how drained the battery a bit having messed with the radio. Check the above spoken of gold relay on the passenger side beneath the kick panel first.
