I may have missed it or simply don't understand.

Is this a "fuel pump doesn't run" or fuel pump runs but "no crank?" Or "fuel pump doesn't run" AND the engine won't crank over?

Ok thanks! We probably won’t tinker with it until next weekend because it’s at my fathers house and with my work hours I won’t have time til then.

It’s more of I don’t know what’s causing the issue. Lol

First we thought fuel pump. No power to the pump. Changed pump and still doing it.

So we straight wired the new pump and worked great but won’t start up. It will try turning over sometimes and sometimes it won’t.

Grabbed another ecm from junk yard and tried that as well and also tried changing the ignition switch.

I feel it’s an electrical or grounding issue but I have no idea where to look.

If you bypass the starter relay, will it crank over solidly?

Have you tried the voltage drop test that I posted in an earlier post?
