When you turn the key to "On" (not start), does the fuel pump buzz for a second?

Need more info!!!! Did it just START having this problem or was the above an attempt to fix?

Fuel:

1. Does the fuel pump run when you switch ignition on? should run for 1-2 seconds.

- collision cut-out switch tripped?

- try holding gas to floor while cranking

- pump pedal several times while cranking

Ign:

1. Disconnect center dist wire (from coil), insert old plug, have someone crank the car with plug lying on engine metal or bracket

3 get a test light... test coil primary terminals. both probably light with ign on, one term will have an off-blink as cranked.

- get the ign module tool from parts store, remove TFI module on side of dist, if caked, replace the module and use fresh heat-sink grease

Get the engine trouble codes read to help pinpoint the problem.

the fuel pump buzzes for a couple of seconds there is no pressure at fuel filter or at top of motor were pressure gauge goes------- i was driving down the road and the car just stop running as if there was no gas.... thank you for your input

So electrically it's okay.

So the pump is not pumping.

You still didn't say WHY you replaced the pump.

If you replaced it *because* the car stopped running, and it still won't run with the new pump that buzzes as it should, then there's something else wrong.

Maybe a blocked or kinked fuel line between the pump and filter (does it squirt gas at all with the filter removed and the key turned to "on" for the 2-second buzz?).

Maybe some part of the pump fell off, or wasn't installed correctly, like the pickup tube, the in-tank filter "sock", or the outlet pipe.
