Default No Power to the Fuel Pump

Got a 92 lx 2.3.
We pulled the fuel pump out and the pump worked but we're not getting power when we put it back in.
We checked the distributor module and it worked.

Any ideas?

Relay maybe? Maybe you pinched a wire and screwed it up? (no offense, happens to the best of us ) Let me know what it is WHEN you find it.

Thanks.
I'll keep you updated.

We already took the inertia switch out.
We checked the inertia switch and the pump.
Both we good.

No voltage to either.

get a wiring diagram and some highlighters, follow every wire for the fuel pump module and probe them with a test light to make sure there all doing there job. please note ALL ecm signal outputs are GROUND signal. test everything at the module under the hood. probing wires can be tricky without ruining them so try to test what you can at the end of the harness while it's disconnected.

Cool

The octane adjustment shortening bar is simply small shunt-like connector that completes a circuit across two wires in the ignition module circuit to allow the timing to be advanced a couple of degrees. This is to give a little more power, but if it is removed, you may be able to run lower octane fuel without experiencing ping or spark knock.
