^is this the pump installed now?
How long did it sit unused?
Is there air int he return line
1 running
2 after parking a bit
does it start right up and idle?
does it run the same when running from an alternative fuel supply?
Idling ahead in gear, is the RPM steady?
Usually no throttle response is the throttle shaft on the wrong spline, but that can only happen if the pump is tampered with.
