      ok I put in a new fuel pump and I had the motor running for 15 mins. and smelled fuel turned out to be split seal on a fuel injector so I replaced all of them . today I put everything back together and the motor cranks but won’t start . I noticed the fuel pump is coming on . I checked the fuse it’s ok . I checked the relay it’s good I even checked the reset button and it’s ok . but yet the pump won’t kick on . any ideas what else I should look for ????

        Little confused. The fuel pump is coming on but yet the pump won’t kick in? Does the fuel
        pump come on for a few seconds when the key is turned on to prime? The fuel pump will
        not stay running unless the car is running. check that injectors are plugged. does the fp relay
        click that its getting power?

            If the fuel pump isn’t turning on then I would suggest you go back and check your work. Perhaps something isn’t connected correctly. Based on your description it was running before you got to this point. It’s possible you accidentally did something and caused the issue. In addition to the article College man posted for you, you might find this information helpful as well.

            Good luck and please keep us updated on your progress.
