i replaced my fuel pump and i cant get my car to turn over. when i pulled the pump out of the housing i pulled the black and blue wire out of the clip it goes into. i think i might of mixed them up but i pulled the pump twice and switched the wires both ways and still wont start. maybe im not cranking it long enough? i cant hear the pump either (its a DeatschWerks 300)

I had the same problem with the dw300. You have to prime it. They put up a vid here. I'll see if I can find it.

something like this should've been in the instruction!!! Did the come with any and did you read them?

^^^^ This. Had the same problem. Finally put a piece of hose on the outlet of the pump---so the hose outlet to the motor and sucked gas thru it. Once the pump is primed like that then your good to go. GL

wires shouldnt matter, you should be able to suck gas out. The car isnt on and neither is the pump let alone ignition. The gas should draw thru the pump.

Try starting the car with the gas cap off. Believe it or not this actually worked for me when I installed my treadstone 342. It saved me from manually priming the pump with wires directly to the battery. For the record, you can also prime from your fuel pump relay.

thanks ill try that but also my gas is kinda low its like right before the gas light turns on. could it just be that the gas level is to low for the pump to suck up anything?
