Welcome to the forum
Your topic has nothing to do with IDE version 1.x specifically so it has been moved to the Project Guidance category of the forum. Please take care when deciding where to start new topics
The Arduino is not designed to be used as a power supply and certainly not for powering motors. It cannot deliver the required current and could easily be damaged
What you need to do is to power the motor from an external power supply such as a suitable battery such as 4 AA cells in series or a mains power supply
To help you we need to know what sketch you are running, what it should do and how all of the project components are connected
What is your power source?
Does the pump run when directly connected to this power source?
That is my problem I'm a beginner in making with these what should you recommend I use a 9V battery?
If it is a PP3 like this
4 AA cells in series will be better
5V power adapter - most old phone chargers qualify.
Yes
