I recently had spark and no fuel. It turned out to be a bad brake booster. The vacuum leak was so bad that not enough air was flowing through the MAF to initiate fuel delivery. As soon as I plugged the hose it fired right up.
So I can confirm 12v to the FP when cranking. Getting OL when checking the resistance of the FP. Zero life of the pump when straight to a battery. I’m leaning heavy dead FB.
 
As requested I updated my original post with photos. I’m positive I have a dead fuel pump, but why?

Wild.
 
What pump did you use? I used a Denso kit and needed to change a connector because the kit used a heavier gauge wire.

I ordered an OEM via eBay, but it’s coming from
Japan and the latest delivery date is now March 4th. So yesterday I found an OEM at a local Lexus dealership. $541 later I’m up and running…and sadly that price didn’t even come with a pair of pink panties. I figured I saved money on a rental car and now have a spare!

Landtank, can provide a pic of what hose you had to plug?
