To my dismay, I realized the check valve supplied from the dealer was not a return check valve (since they don't exist since the running change in '90). I had installed it as the return and the car has actually been running. Now its dead - at the dealer while I was discussing the changed pump feed styles and getting a new valve (to gut and become the new return). It wouldn't start and smelled like it had flooded, but the pump wouldn't run. I took it apart in the parking lot to redo the valve/line fittings, but it still wouldn't run.
Man I learned my lesson on this one. It's such a simple repair, but without knowing about the changed valve I botched it and destroyed the pump and will have to pay for the whole unit from the Stealer!!! Fark.
