Did you check for lots of fuel pressure as I posted earlier? There will be about 42psi with the main pump running. The in tank pump puts oout about 5 psi.

The main fuel pump is an easy repair, except the fitting on the output can be difficult to loosen. The FAQ recommends an air impact for this if you have one.

Both fuel pumps are energized at the same time, so if you have power to the in tank pump you should have power to the main pump.

Have you run the car out of gas recently? This seems to be the main cause of fuel pump failure. My son has ruined two that way. First on his car, but then he didn't learn and ruined on on one of our cars which he was using.
