Unhappy another pump not priming

well the car ran when i went to bed and when i woke up it wouldnt start....the pump stoped priming........the first thing i did was check the number 15 fuse(blue 15amp fuse) under the hood and it was fine......so i straight wired the pump while it was in the car and it primed and the car fired up.....so that ruled out the pump being bad, and the crank/cam sensor being bad wouldnt it?..so i pulled out the trusty ol volt meter and im not getting any power to the plug......so i was like wtf i checked the fuse and its okay..so on my aem i checked pin number 22 witch is the pump and it has voltage coming from it....here is the diagram i went by..... http://www.roadraceengineering.com/e...-ecuwiring.htm
does anybody have any idea what else i could look for.........please help

sounds weird but when this happened to me it was my wiring harness where it hooks up to the ecu, it makes a sharp turn and has a metal plate behind it. i don't know if it was grounding out on that plate or what but when i dropped the ecu down out from behind the glove box my car fired right up. i just did an extra careful job tucking the wires and putting the ecu back in

just a thought

You should have that fixed. It will cause shorting/melting and possibly fire at some point in your cars life. Better to take 10 min to fix it now instead of installing an entire engine harness, and possibly body harness too.

To the OP, You need to be more clear in your questioning. I was confused by your incomplete thoughts typed out. Sounds like you got as far as getting power out of the EMS to the Fpump relay, but what do you have at the relay? I'd guess the relay is bad.
