Hi Vence,

When you turn the key form off to on ((Not start)) you will get about a 2 second burst from the pump. Key off then back on, you would get another burst. That's where the 50 psi is coming from. When you turn the key to Start (( the pump susposed to come back on while starting)) If it don't, it will never start and the pressure will drop fast. Put someone under there while you hit the starter and see if the pump runs while starting. If not, fix the electrical problem.
