Sounds right to me. You need to have the key in the RUN position, but I think you've already done that since you got some pressure. Sounds like you may have a bad component there somewhere; pump, regulator or guage.



You have a guage right on the regulator like this?







Or do you have an electric guage inside the car?

 

It's connected right to the reg like that....I don't think it's the pump....or I hope it's not, because you can hear it humming in the rear of the car with the door open.

 

could I have tightened the banjo bolt too tight so the holes don't line up?
