Have you checked the fuse, the connections under the driver's side bin, and the connections at the pump?

Also, try just running wire straight from the battery to the pump, just as a test.

ARE YOU GETTING POWER TO THE PUMP? I'VE HAD TO RUN A HOTWIRE TO THE FUEL PUMP WITH AN OFF/ON SWITCH. THE WRE IN QUESTION COMES OFF THE STARTER AND IS REGULATED BY THE IGNITION SWITCH.
THE PUMP IS UNDER THE CAR NEEAR THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WELL. AT LEAST THE STOCK ONES ARE.

what could have happened when i:jump started it. took the alternator out. changed the belt. tried to jump start it. took the battery out. cleaned the connections. got it charged. put it back in. turned it over. it was probably caused by one of those things. i dont see how a connection could get messed up by these. the fuses looked fine. one thing i didnt understand. there was a cruise fuse, with a wire bent over it, so it was in contact with some of the metal.
