I replace a fuel pump no fuel pressure at the rail, rely is good could this be an ignition problem

[scottykilmer]

@gpcdist could be, see if power is going out of the switch to the pump fuse when you crank the car over. Me, I'd just rewire it directly from the switch to the pump if other problems exist, it can get complex otherwise.

scotty my end of my pin broke off in the ignition switch. still cannot get the thing out...

[scottykilmer]

@chamblizi try try try to do what I do in this video, cause if you can't get the assembly out, time for a locksmith or a big drill bit and drill it out. i've drilled em out, a GIANT pain to do.

@scottykilmer do i have to remove all the guts?

[scottykilmer]

@chamblizi If you drill it out you have to

[chamblizi]

@scottykilmer well i got the thing out had to run thru several parts... found the right ignition switch and it still wont start so now i have to put a ignition switch in dash cause someone put a different column in the vehicle the wheel mechanics are worn out to much to make contact.
