I have a 1997 s14 with an s14 Sr it has a walbro 255 fuel which is now not turning on car ran fine for 2 months, I got a little sideways the other day soon as I shifted to third the car bogged out like as if it was out of gas. So with my gas gauge that doesn't work I assumed it was out of gas I put some gas in it and now the fuel pump isn't priming or turning on at all any ideas I need to figure it out before Monday so I can get to work any input will help thanks

buy a new fuel pump immediately, you can do a few tests with a multimeter but the walbro's will die without ANY warning. I had this happen to me the day I was supposed to attend a funeral.

Cause it struggled to start like 5 min before it did that so maybe it did go out just figured a wire or something I could check

pulled the pump out and connected 12v to it and it did not sound like it should and didnt pump anything, so i order a new pump hopefully that solves my problem
