Thanks so much for your contribution!!
Yes, I do NOT hear the pump running when I turn the key. I know there is no fuel pressure because no gas comes out of the pressure relief valve behind the plenum.
It is a almost new filter.
I live in Alaska and think some water ice from the tank might have got sucked into the pump. In fact, the car started up normally (pump ran) that morning then died after about 30 secs. The pump hasnt worked since.
That is why I was hoping for a fuse or similar. I will try jumping the pump through the prime connection as you suggest but I might have to wait until things thaw out.
I will also check the circuit diagrams you recommend since mine are pathetic.
Thanks so much!
