1998 NB 2.0 Automatic... Fuel Pump and .......

The fuel pump and dash fuel level gauge are not working. The car was running just fine up till about two weeks ago. Then it would randomly die but I could always get it restarted after a few tries and then drive off. Sometimes it would just die in traffic but like I said it always restarted. Then I was at a friends house and when I went outside to drive away it would not start at all. Had it towed home and trouble shot it. Didn't hear the fuel pump start and so I checked the fuel pump relay and it seems to be working fine. I can't find a fuse to check so not sure if there is a fuse. I do have a half tank of fresh gas.

So I ordered a new fuel pump. Just installed it and again nothing. The fuel pump isn't running at all and the fuel gauge is not moving.

I pulled the fuel pumps cable, turned the ignition switch to on and tested the two plug slots for power. Was getting just over 1 volt. Not enough to do anything.

So now I am at a stand still and could use some help. Does anyone know what I should check next?

We did pour a little gas down the intake and it started and ran until the gas ran out. So I know its getting spark and will run. I just don't have any real power going back to the fuel pump.

Thanks
