My 88 vert doesn't start when i opend the switch i dont hear the pump come on. I disconnect the fuel line, try to start it and gas vearly comes out. I replaced the fuel pump and the relay under the seat but still won't start. Is there any thing else I should check?

If your fuel pump is not working it could be the inertia switch.

Also, check fuel pressure and make sure your regulator is not hosed.

I checked that switch and the button is pressed down should I replaced it anyways?

You can bypass the switch

check the relay under the driver seat. When I had my Fox it went out and that sounded exactly like the problem you are having

Ok so I ran a wire traight from the vattery to the pink wire on the relay under the seat and the car started for like 5 seconds and shut down. I tried again and it doesn't start it just crancks I'm running out of ideas [Mad]

Are you sure it isn't the coil or ignition module because ddoes are really common to go out.
