Default HELP!! with ALKY system

hey all...im sure this is a topic but I for one have no clue about these systems as i purchased the car with it installed already. I was due for a tune on my 03 Z when i realised that the led on the alky controller in my car isnt turning green. Come to think of it since i bought the car 2 months ago i dont think ive ever seen it green.

Ive read about water being sucked in so i accesed the pump and from the exterior look alone it doesnt seem to be the problem.

At ignition i dont hear the pump turn on nor does it turn on when i hit the "test" button.

Ive also read the system could be programed to inject at a certain supercharger psi so i even tested it on a run and still nothing.

Im wondering if I should just buy a pump and try to replace it and see what happens because I truely dont know much about the system...

Or if i just go ahead with the tune maybe the tuner can figure out what the deal is.

Any advice would be much apprecitated. Thanks

If it's an Alky Control system, I'd call ECS or Julio at Alky Control. Do not go into boost until you get it sorted out

well after tampering with it a little bit on my own i really cant find what the real problem is. Id assume from the look of the pump it hasn't been changed. Im probably going to end up ordering a new updated pump anyway so might as well throw it in and see what happens. If Julio can chime in or ECS with a quote on a new dual nozzle shipped id appreciate it.
