If after checking fuses and relays you still aren't getting fuel to your engine, then it could be that you have a faulty fuel pump. Replacing the fuel pump in a 1989 Mazda B2200 truck isn't very hard to do, and even a person with little auto repair experience can get the job done in a couple of hours. All it takes is a few basic tools and an outdoor area in which to work to prevent gas fumes from building up.
Tools Used: Socket and ratchet set, Phillips screwdriver, New fuel pump
