have you drained your fuel tank and checked for crud??

 

x2 the sock could be dirty on the sender

 

yes, the tank is new, sender is new. new lift pump. could the connectors be bad at the lift pump?

 

Could be, put constant power to it and drive around see what happens. Or see what your getting for fuel pressure

 

Thanks, I will solder connections to make sure it is connected good to.

If I am to test for a power hook up spot for the lift pump, what should the reading be?

 

what do you mean? just jump the relay

 

what do you mean jump the relay?

it has a new relay also.

 

Pop the cap off the relay. There should be a coil and a metal piece. Push it against the coil and that's how a relay works.

Or

Use a test light and pull the relay. Check which one is constant and which one is ign on.
Just use a wire and cross it. Iirc is the bottom right and top left I jumped. Hope this helps

 

-could you show me a pic?

I checked the fuel relay for power in the connectors & only had only constant power, no switched power from the ign. so I put a piggy back on the fuse box where it was switched power. I will buy a new fuel cap & test drive truck soon.

 

Well it is running now.
