Default Replaced fuel pump, now Blazer wont start. Help!

After having to have my 2000 Chevy Blazer towed because of stalling issues, I was told my issue was the fuel pump
I replaced the fuel pump yesterday but now the Blazer wont start. Please help. I don't hear the fuel pump kicking in during the first few seconds of turning the key to on. Don't know what to do next.

The new fuel pump is an Airtex. We did have to switch the old 2x2 pin connector to the new flat 4 pin connector. The Blazer is turning over but isn't starting now.

ah well... some learn the hard way.

Seriously. Find your FP relay, look closely at the pin numbering on the relay.

You want to check continuity {five or fewer ohms, but not less than 1} from pin 87 in the socket to chassis grd.

Now here's the bad part.. they probably put those crimp connectors in there and those are tricky unless you have a GOOD crimping tool to use with them.

I hate em.. rather twist and solder. Or use twist connectors
