I have a ford probe. its a 2.0 and i thought i needed a fuel pump but i put a new one in and its not doing anything, acting like its not getting power to it at all. the relays click under the hood but the pump doesnt wine, not even when its turning over. ANY IDEAS THOUGHTS at all?? Thanks Devin

my 98 excort had a 2.0 in it, not sure if it relates but. there was a fuel cut off switch (factory) on the driver side in between the door and under the dash. maybe you have one on the probe somewhere and it some how got triggered?

if its not then only otheer thing i can think of is to put a test light to it.

i put the tank back up and i hear the fuel pump whine but it doesnt start.. yes there is gas in it... any input?? it does start with starter fluid..

Take line loose before filter and see if you have fuel pressure. If you have fuel there, check filter for clog. If filter is clear, diconnect return and check pressure there. If you have no pressure before filter check voltage at the tank to be sure you have enough voltage to run pump properly. If pump is new and its not as loud as it should be, I'd start with the voltage check

it was a clogged fuel filter... all better now.. thanks buddy for the advice.
