thanks for the direction!

k i downloaded them....would this software be able to help detect why my fuel pump isnt kicking on and if a sensor is bad or not connected?

it can tell if sensors are bad or throwing codes. stuff like conzult will read out the sensors and if one is "dead" then you should see it, same as with other software. fuel pump....mroe likely a relay at the pump than anything else.

See if one of the other softwares has the fuel pump control stuff implemented. You can turn the pump on and off via the consult port. That should help troubleshoot it.

Is it throwing any codes? I use ConZult freeware to check for codes.
