I don't think so. I think the fusible link he is talking about is the fuel pump relay. Unfortunately I have already swapped mine out with a known good one so that does not seem to be the problem.

I am not getting any fuel to the rail anymore. Leads me to believe that it is either the pump itself or the CPS. I want to replace the CPS anyway to be on the safe side but I am just trying to figure out if I actually need to pull the pump out again. Hopefully they will replace it for free.

OK.... So...I poured a bit of gas into the throttle body and it started up for a brief second. Pretty exciting news considering I have been fighting with this thing for a little over a week now.
