Ok this only applies until Saturday April 23rd.

It is Friday 22 @ 8pm. I am in desperate need of a Walboro 255 immediately if not sooner. I am in a UC parking lot (one that I don't have a pass for), just got back from street tuning a little bit. The fucker won't start.....figured out that I am getting no fuel pressure at all. I really do not think it is the ECU wiring because: recently the pump has been making a whining sound (which it never did before). If anyone has any ideas/help you can reach me here or 937-478-3198.

the pump makes a whining sound all the time, especially when the gas tank is about empty. maybe you've just never heard it. mine is right behind my head so i hear it all the time. are you sure you have gas in the car?

yea I had a little more than a 1/4 tank at the time. I have heard people talk about how it whines....mine really doesn't make any noises at all though.
Update: After working in a parking lot with a pocket knife, a 10mm socket and a screw driver that I just happened to have I managed to figure out the problem.

....I hot wired the fuel pump (positive to a 12V source...my headlights) and low and behold my pump came on but the car STILL didn't start. Sooo ok, great now I have to check all the wiring...luckily I didn't do that and found that the 15A ECU fuse in the engine had blown. My thoughts "fuck this, that is regoddamndiculous" It started at 7pm and things got fixed around 12pm after being soaking wet and freezing my ass off. At least it isn't the pump I guess:ty:

Hotwire that shit to the battery with some 8Ga wire. Youre just asking for trouble if you splice into an existing power source.

its not like I drove it....I just wanted to know if the pump worked or not. Once I heard it prime I tried starting and when it still didn't I realized that it was wiring/fuses. The connections are all repaired and as good as new.
