Ok, '94 cutlass ciera with a 3.1 wont start. I just replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, sending unit, and fuel pump relay. There is no power going to the fuel pump as in when key is on or starting, pump does not engage. Everything is connected right, there is gas in it, but the pump just isn't turning on. Is there something i missed?

No 3 second prime?, do you have 12v to the pump during the prime event, proper ground?

what do you mean by no 3 second prime? I tested the new pump and it works. I cut the connectors off and hard wired them and the pump gets power now. Just the car doesnt start now.

The pcm primes the pump, you can here it run for 3 seconds, when the key is turned on, if you hot wire the pump does it run, fuses ok?

The pump wasnt working cause the positive wire leading to the relay was shot, so i ran a new one. Pump works and so does the car... but it wont stay running. It has good spark, i'm just confused

Check the fuel pressure first.
