I have a 99 gst. I was cruising at about 60 and my car died. It rolled to a stop and everything was dead. I looked at the fuses and the ignition switch had blown so I swapped it for the power windows. I got my power back but when I tried to start the car it wouldn't turn over. It will crank but not start. Yesterday I installed a walbro 255hp fuel pump and an aeromotive fpr. I set the fuel preasure at idle to about 45. Is the fuel pump dead? Is the engine clogged with fuel? Motor blown? what should I look for
 
When you turn the key to "ON" can you hear the fuel pump turn on. I have the same fuel pump and you can hear it when it kicks on. It sounds like a low hum. You said that it was turning over, do you have spark? Check your spark and see if you can hear your fuel pump first. When it is cranking can you hear it firing? Does it sound like it is at least trying to start?
 
if you cant hear it running from outside the car take the gas cap off and put ## ear up to it and have a friend turn the key on it u should hear it running.
