indeed a rant...but here's the first thing you did wrong...you bought the part from CarQuest...bad...secondly you didn't take the original part off and take it to CarQuest and make sure that it was an exact replacement and finally how the heck do you know the fuel pump is the problem anyway if you can't figure the first 2 issues out....see what I'm saying here? I would blame myself on this one if l personally such a bone headed thing...my fault....
