I got frustrated and took a break, I started looking at the Haynes manual and saw something about testing the connector at the pump. So I turn the key on and the damn pump runs. Started up and ran fine.

Could it have been frozen, it wouldn't run at prior to this. Or is it just going to be an intermittent problem and we should change it now? (I have to add, we are in MI and it has not been above 32 in weeks.

I've heard that the pigtail from the fuel pump to the connection in back of the gas tank when the pigtail hooks up goes bad quite often.

I might add, to loosen the connections on top of the gas tank you need to drop the fuel tank down just a bit. Of course you need to get as much gas out of the tank that you can before dropping it down.
