In a completely different direction - look under your dash and make sure all the plug connectors are in place and snug.

A year ago I hit a big pot hole and everything stopped immediately. Since I was on a major highway at rush hour, I had it flatbedded to a local shop where the owner said - I can fix this in 15 secs. He ran his hand under the dash, found the loose connection, popped it back in and the car fired right up.

Thanks guys
Right now I have electric to everything and I can hear the pump running but I am getting zero fuel out of the accumulator. Not even a drop. If the pump was obstructed I should be getting a little gas out of it

the pump can fail (not pumping) anytime. At this point, remove the pump and bench check it or just replace it. I know they should last forever but, well, it's a mechanical part, subject to failing at any time.

Crack the incoming line and make sure fuel is getting to the pump now.

FWIW, I once jumpered my DME to find out if my pump was causing a "no-start" issue. Once jumpered, I could clearly hear the pump "running", but was not getting fuel to the throttle body.

I went ahead and replaced the pump anyways, which solved the problem.

Just because you can hear the pump motor whirr, doesn't necessarily mean that the pump is doing it's job.

I will check the line to the pump when I pull the pump Monday. It says it is has a 24 month warranty and it is well under that. I bought it at Pelican but I have never had to warranty anything with them before.

It was a failure of the fuel pump.
I had just installed a new Bosch fuel pump 8 months ago and it failed without warning.
I couldn't believe that it would be the pump but after I eliminated everything else it was the new pump.
Pelican says it is warranting the pump.
What a pain in the a$$
Thanks for the input

When you lift the air sensor, does it make a screeching sound from hell?

Check this video about 10 seconds in.

That's actually good news, Steve. Pretty simple fix, but I realize it's a pain in the azz to replace something that should be rock steady when new. Life happens.
