Question
my sprinkler pump quit working. i replaced with same and now i have no pressure.

Answer
If the pump is coming on and there is no pressure, it could be that you have an air leak in the plumbing on the suction side of the pump.  If the pump doesnt come on, then you need to check the wiring and especially the relay switch between the controller and the pump.
