Rebuilt Fuel Pump - Airtex 3240 not working
I attempted last night to rebuild my failing fuel pump with an Airtex 3240 pump. Everything went together just fine with the exception of the power plug (it fit, but didn't fit perfectly).
I put the rebuilt pump in... and when I turn the ignition switch to on, I hear the pump activate, However it isn't actually... pumping. I have 0 fuel pressure now.
Any ideas?
The only thought I had was that possibly the +/- terminals are switched and it isn't pumping like it should.. but this doesn't seem like a probability.
Thanks in advance

How's your fuel filter? If its been a while I'd pull it off and see if you get fuel pumping with it removed.

I have found that with electrical connections, there is no such thing as described above. Usually a poor fit is the first reason for anything electrical not to work.
My early 97 has the hundred dollar complete fuel pump assemly as well. Mine required complete replacement due to the top plastic cracking. But even so, I would go with the complete assembly over rebuilding those.
