well if u have already checked the relay and inertia switch then theres only one thing left to do,check the connector at the tank,its a pink wire with a blue trace,see if u have 12 volts when you have someone cycle the key,being thjat theres only a 2 sec buzz. if you have power then u gotta drop the tank and pluck the pump out.

if its bad id highly recommend a bigger pump. The stock ones a POS and if you have to pull the tank might as well get a better one that will support mods later one. Ive had a 190LPH in mine for quite some time. I swear it made a difference on the top end, if i remember right the stock pump is in the 80-90LPH range witch is pathetic for a V-8.
