Sc400 shutting off issue
Whats up guys! Like the title says my sc400 is not running.
Fuel pump took a crap. Car shut off. Turns over fine. Doesn't sputter or try to start up.
Fuel pump doesn't prime at all and all fuses/relays are good.
I ordered and already changed to a Walbro 255. First try it primed. Turned over. And started.
I drive to work and then it shuts off in my works parking lot. (same exact way it did before)
Drove fine the entire way there but then it shut off and didn't want to start. I have just over a quarter tank.
I heard the fuel pump ecu's go bad but I'm not sure if this is my problem. Clearly the pump or the pump connection is the issue since I changed it and it started fine.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks guys!
Marco

Fuel filter is new
Pump is new. As well as the strainer
I bypassed the fuel pump ecu like I've seen most of y'all do and still nothing
Pump doesn't prime. Car turns over but doesn't start or try to spudder or anything.

I double checked all my pump connections. And by passed that ecu.
I was re checking all my fuses and relays when I accidentally kicked the interior fuse box and the pump kicked on. So I guess that's where my issue lies. Gonna check all those connections to see if there's any melted or corroded or loose connections.
Hopefully I don't bump into this issue again but atleast I know the area of the problem. Thanks again!
