just was playing around and being that I was getting power to the pump I decided to test the ground so I cut the ground wire and hooked the ground that I ran from the neg. side of the battery and it fired right up. so turns out I had a bad ground...

My brother 96 Chevy I had been working also had a problem like yours. A bad ground was also the problem so I had sanded the rust off the cross member (where it was grounded with a bolt) and it has no problem firing up
