[QUOTE=MmSadda;145206]Where is the fuel pump check connector? Not coming up with that one easily in the Haynes manual[/QUOTE

On the right hand side of the engine bay find the pressure sensor attached to the front side of the right front strut tower area. The elect plug is yellow in color and has two sockets. It is not attached to anything. Get a piece of elect wire bare at each end. Put one end in each socket of the plug. Key to ON. Listen for the fuel pump noise running all the time.

This yellow fuel pump check connector might have black heat shrink around it. Possibly.

If the pump runs you Know the ENGINE fuse in the interior fuse box is good (third row up from the bottom and second fuse over on that row counting from the left as you look into the box. 15amp fuse).

Usually the tach needle will make one bump if you just turn the key ON. Normal. But it sounds like you have no tach action after that when you spin the engine with the starter. Odd.
