Zed Head Posted March 30, 2012 Share #2 Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks for at least one capital letter. Although I'm sure it was unintentional. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbane Posted March 30, 2012 Share #3 Posted March 30, 2012 There are several things you should look into, starting with the simplest: Is there gas in the tank? (seriously. I helped troubleshoot a friends Honda, only to find the tank was dry-and the low fuel light/sender was bad). If there is gas, how old is it? Have you looked inside the tank to check for crud? (If not, you should...)When you replaced the fuel pump, did you reverse the leads? (I ask because I've done this-it's easier to do than you think...yes, the pump will activate, but spin the wrong direction)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamericgee Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) thanks zed hey zbane I tried the wires both ways and still no pump I'm probably going to open the tank and see if any crud is inside of it maybe I'll get lucky with that Edited March 30, 2012 by iamericgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
