When I first replace the pump it run fine. The previous pump only had 34 miles on it when it went out. I replaced the wiring harness, fuel filter and pump. After awhile It would run for a few minutes and die. At first it would stall when I first started it and then it would start again and run fine. Then it started bogging down like it was out of fuel. Now it won't start at all. If I spray some gas or starting fluid in the air filter it will run for a few seconds.
Now when I turn the key on the gas guage goes crazy back and forth. When it was running if I turned on the turn signals the gas guage would move back and forth. If I gave it gas the gas guage would move up like a tach.
Also what is the fuel pressure suppose to be? I have a manual and it says 9 to 13 psi. Another source says 50 to 65 psi. Which is it?
The Van has TBI. The pump is coming on. It was tune up recently. A new coil and Ign. Module were installed too.

Check the spark plugs.
There's something called butterfly intake or something like that. sometimes it gets jammed up with grease. Good luck
