Started yesterday; no fuel pressure today
So I replaced the fuel pump yesterday and it cranked and idled fine. Today I fixed the broken quick connect on the fuel line at the filter and now I can't get fuel pressure. It almost cranks for a second but won't quite get it. No pressure is building up at the rail. Any suggestions?

Fuel pump only runs for 2 seconds each time key is turned from off to on
So try cycling the key on and off a few times
And LISTEN for the fuel pump to run for those 2 seconds, its not quiet, you will hear a HUMMMM from the gas tank
"New" no longer means "it works"
"New" now means NEVER TESTED, so keep that in mind, unless it is a Motorcraft fuel pump assembly then its never been tested, just put in a box and shipped out, "we" are now the Quality Control for all 3rd party parts makers, they just add a warranty
I have read of people getting a 3rd or 4th fuel pump in the first few months to finally get one that lasts, but it sure beats $600+ for a motorcraft assembly

At least you figured it out before spending hundreds of $ and hours just to find out it was out of gas, I've seen it done.
