Hi fixkick
I checked the voltage on the wire terminals connected to the new pump at the 3 sec input while wired to the car(got a reading of roughly 11.4 volts on both +pos and -neg terminals).
Then I bench tested both old and new pumps outside for a couple of seconds without fuel, using a battery charger starter (which gives off 12 volts) and 8 ft length of wire.
The old pump didn't start up, but the new pump did begin to buzz.
So I tried hooking the new pump again to the electrical connection at the back of the car...but as usual, it still did not function.
Very baffling. Could a difference of a volt or less make that much difference?
