I was driving along and it just died. I assumed it ran out of gas since the gauge doesnt work. Put gas in it and still nothing. Ive had one person tell me I could have burnt up the aftermarket fuel pump. I just wanted more opinions before I tear out the custom stereo install in back.

An easy way to check the fuel pump is to see if it primes when you turn the ignition on.

Pretty sure everythings up to date. It's Kirks old car. His only idea was that maybe the fel pump burnt up if it did just run out of gas. Yes the AEM EMS needs to be tuned for colder weather, but it was starting in 30 degrees and it was in the 60s the day it just quit. Was running the best it had since I got it up north.

If you flip the key to the on position without starting the engine you should hear the fuel pump switch on. And you can hear the fuel flowing through the rail, atleast I can with my car :)

check the pump relay in the fuse box.
