My wife ran the car dry and had to replace pump. Now still won’t crank. Tried starter fluid. And it almost started. Any ideas?

 

I guess you are attached to your bride so while it is kind of suicidal to ask them what they thought the lights on the dash and the needle of the gauge on E means, then you are left with troubleshooting and getting ready for the next time!.

Sure sounds like it was installed wrong or is defective. You may want to see if it is getting to the fuel rail. Here is the procedure from ALLDATAFUEL PRESSURE

Inspection

FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE

With CONSULT-III

1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Perform "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" in "WORK SUPPORT" mode with CONSULT-III.
3. Start engine.
4. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF.

Without CONSULT-III

1. Remove fuel pump fuse located in IPDM E/R.
2. Start engine.
3. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Reinstall fuel pump fuse after servicing fuel system.

FUEL PRESSURE CHECK

CAUTION:
Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from fuel line to eliminate danger.

NOTE:

• Prepare pans or saucers under the disconnected fuel line because the fuel may spill out. The fuel pressure cannot be completely released because A35 models do not have fuel return system.
• Be careful not to scratch or get the fuel hose connection area dirty when servicing, so that the quick connector O-ring maintains seal ability.
• Use Fuel Pressure Gauge Kit [SST (J-44321)] and Fuel Pressure Adapter [SST (J-44321-6)] to check fuel pressure.

1. Release fuel pressure to zero.
2. Remove fuel hose using Quick Connector Release [SST (J-45488)].

•  
  • Do not twist or kink fuel hose because it is plastic hose.
  • Do not remove fuel hose (3) from quick connector.
  • Keep fuel hose connections clean.

1. Install Fuel Pressure Adapter [SST (J-44321-6)] (2) and Fuel Pressure Gauge kit [SST (J44321)] (1) as shown in figure.

•  
  • Do not distort or bend fuel rail tube when installing fuel pressure gauge adapter.
  • When reconnecting fuel hose, check the original fuel hose for damage and abnormality.

1. Turn ignition switch ON (reactivate fuel pump) and check for fuel leakage.
2. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
3. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge kit [SST (J-44321)].

•  
  • During fuel pressure check, check for fuel leakage from fuel connection every 3 minutes.

At idling : Approximately 350 kPa (3.57 kg/cm2, 51 psi)

1. If result is unsatisfactory, go to next step.
2. Check the following.

•  
  • Fuel hoses and fuel tubes for clogging
  • Fuel filter for clogging
  • Fuel pump
  • Fuel pressure regulator for clogging

1. If OK, replace fuel pressure regulator. If NG, repair or replace malfunctioning part.
2. Before disconnecting Fuel Pressure Gauge kit [SST (J-44321)] and Fuel Pressure Adapter [SST (J-44321-6)], release fuel pressure to zero.

 

im thinking now that the fuel pump is not pumping enough gas through. How much gpm should the pump produce. Now seems like no gas getting. Found the problem was bad injectors. They were rusted out by the bad gas initially put in after break down.

 

Glad to hear you got her back on the road.

 

I kinda got her On the road. Lol. I feel like the fuel pump I got isn’t pushing enough fuel.. you know what fuel pump I need or what the gpm is the minimum

 

The OEM part number for the fuel pump is 17040-ZX01B. Run that number through a search engine and you will get a number of places with different prices to choose from.

 

so anyone would work? Should I not worry about psi or gpm?

 

As long as it is a Nissan OEM part with that part number you don't have to worry about psi or gpm. That fuel pump was designed for your car.
