Cycle the ignition on and off several times holding it in the on position for a few seconds each time. Doing this 4-5 times will allow the fuel pump to pressurize the fuel system.

How do you replace the fuel pressure regulator on a Chevrolet astro van?
What kind of Fuel Injection system do you have? Do you have a fuel rail? If you have a fuel rail - it is at the tip of the fuel rail (front of the engine). There are two tiny bolts that secure the fuel reg to the base of the front fuel rail (bolts with tiny nuts on the inside - so be careful about losing them around the heat shield that is on top of the intake manifold). Once you have freed the fuel reg. from the base of the fuel rail, it will come off of the fuel rail. Remember, to de-pressurize the fuel system (there is a cap nut on the side of the rail, take the cap off and de-pressurize). Sometimes, you do not have to de-pressurize (on the rail side of the fuel reg. sometimes that o-ring fails, and that willautomatically depressurize the system). You have to depressurize, or prepare to take a quick mini shower in gasoline. Ok, the other side of the fuel reg. - not the fuel rail side, but the other side. You should see a VACUUM WIRE BLOCK JUNCTION. Fuel reg has a vac hose that plugs into a manifold fitting - disconnect it and lay it aside. Pull that VACUUM WIRE BLOCK JUNCTION directly upwards and it will come off (don't break it!). Under that juction block is a bolt - loosen it. The retaining clip for the junction block - remove it, and the wire harness retaining ring (flat pice of rounded thin gage stock meant to hold the wire harness on the front side of the engine manifold. Most importantly, remove the same style retaining clamp for the fuel line. Now, you can work on the Fuel reg. - it is freed up, and should wiggle around freely although it is still attached to the hose. I goota get back to work - this should be easy from here on out - reverse the procedure for installation and send $20.00 to Wulfmun! Just kiddin - good luck! Wulfmun.
What would cause no control power to fuel pump relay on 1994 Ford Ranger?
In the absence of a fuel system shut off as in an alarm system I would suspect a fuel pump fuse, or faulty ignition switch
Do you need a vacuum canister?
Usually, it is not essential in the function of the engine. It serves more of an environmental protection purpose and has as slight use in improving fuel mileage. Without the canister, the fuel system can vent some fuel vapors directly to atmosphere (not very enviro-friendly and wasting fuel) instead of storing them for reintroduction into the fuel system.

How do you repressurize 98 eldorado fuel system?
After de-pressurizing a fuel system, turning the ignition key from OFF to ON and then waiting about 5 seconds will pressurize the fuel system enough to start the car.

The fuel system always had to pressurize. If you are having issues, your fuel filter in the rail next to the tank must be replaced. The normal cycle for replacing the filter is 15,000 miles. The filters are inexpensive, well under $20.00.
How can you check your fuel pump?
The easiest way is to just turn the key to the run position and listen for a quick humming sound from the rear of the car. That sound it the pump running to pressurize the fuel system. If you cannot hear it (have someone listen in the trunk) you have either a bad fuel pump or an electrical problem pertaining to the fuel system.
