Did not want to dig into it at the time, shouldve at least checked the shrader valve.

Up, oldskewl, yes, I dont remember a code for a dead pump ever as well, will do the scan in case it isnt the pump.

Leiz, I wish lol! But I have 3/4 tank at the moment, and it will make a pump replacement a bit more difficult if it comes to that.
Pedal to the floor is telling the computer that you have a flooded engine and not to fire the fuel injectors to provide any more gas. I would just start the engine without touching the pedal.
