I need help figuring out why my car doesnt take in fuel through the fuel pump. theres power going to the fuel pump but it still doesnt want to crank. fuel pump and filter all have been replaced and the car has spark also. Im running out of ideas. Also this car has been swapped to 5spd. i drove the car the day before and it ran fine but now it hasnt ever started since. its been like a month since my cars been down. lmk, any help is cool
thanks

Try an take a hanger and stick it in the tank hole it might be clogged with something... Check your grounds and connections...

Is it a aftermarket FP?, you sure you connected it right? try it outside of the tank on a bucket with fuel with the hose going into another bucket to see if fuel is pumping, don't forget that after you remove the fuel pump you always have to change the o ring that sits between the pump and tank.
