i replaced the fuel pump like 3 months ago with a used one but it worked perfectly, i didnt check fuel pressure with a gauge i just poaked the end of the fuel rail with a screw driver and it squirted out fuel oh and i used a code scanner and it doesnt throw up any codes btw no my friend unplugged the spark plug wires one by one as the car cranked and it showed spark
