Have you checked fuel lines for kinks/damage?

Did you swap out the whole fuel pump assembly or just the actual pump?

If you just did the pump, the filter/regulator on the top of the tank might need changing. The pressure regulator will also act as a check valve and if defective can allow fuel to drain back into the tank when the engine is off. I had a long crank problem many years ago and it was fixed by swapping only the filter/regulator.


I think it is the regulator as I didn’t have this problem before and I changed it, which is when I believe the problem started I couldn’t hear the fuel pump prime which led me to believe that was the problem, I will be ordering a new filter/regulator tomorrow and changing it as soon as I get it, hopefully that’s all it is
