Not that the fuel pump is at fault in this case, but what brand pump did you use? I had a Carter from NAPA installed not long ago in my `97 LeSabre and it burnt out at 1400 miles. I replaced that one with a Delphi, just what everyone on here recommended. Cost me $250 in additional labor charges for not listening. Did you change the pump strainer and fuel filter when you replaced the pump?

You are right, it could be something else entirely. No way of knowing without make a few checks. You didn`t say, but I assume the check engine light didn`t come on. Sorry I can`t be of anymore help. There are some great people on here, maybe one of them can steer you in the right direction.

Agreed... Do you hear the Pump like this when you turn the ignition on... You should hear the pump for a brief 2 seconds or so.. Something like this Vid...
