No problem Summer. just going to pull up your vehicle and then get back to you asap
No inertia switch or oil pressure switch off switch on this.
If you are not getting power to the fuel pump this could be any of many issue?
Can you get hooked up to a diagnostic scan tool or a code reader and check for engine malfunction codes?
Is the starter working and cranking over the engine?

65279;I installed a new starter. Then I installed a new fuel pump. I don’t have a professional way to backprobe, I used a lightbulb and socket and there was nothing. I’m going to borrow a diagnostic reader from the auto store. I was given this car about a month ago. It has 188k on it and it has never had any maintenance. The oil was bone dry. And this car has spent 20 years here in Hawaii where there is lots of sand. I’m guessing I should replace all the filters?

Check for codes first as it could just be a sensor the alarm system the chip transponder key etc lot of possible issues.

65279;Hi thanks. I haven’t been able to get the tester or diagnostic thing yet but i will. Is the wiring universal? I have a 2002 Astro van that’s broke down. Could I use those wires?
