Do you have a fuel pressure guage? How do you know you have no pressure? What model and year car?
The fuel pump will only run if the ignition is in the "start" position, or the AFM is open. It will not run if either of those is not happening. (unless you jumper the check connector by the AFM)

I hear ya brother. I just replaced my fuel pump the other day. Solved one problem and now have to figure out my loss of powa.
Maybe the gas cap is bad.
When I took off my old one the ground looked kinda oxidized. I filed both the terminal ends with a file.
My pump works, but I cannot hear the whirring sound I have read about in other threads that indicates it is working.
Listen near the pump(I did not do that part, but all the plastic crap molding was off to get to where they have it hidden). If no sound, check the EGI main fuse.
If there is a whirring sound for a long period of time, the system is not pressurizing correctly, check the fuel system pressure.
From there one is supposed to check the fuel pump pressure, but you have put in a new one, I doubt that the new one is bad, but it is possible.
I think that someone that knows more will chime in soon.
Good Luck,
C-CK
