Hey guys, hope you can help me. Got home and decided to check some of the fluids:
Oil
Power steering
Brake fluid
••••• fluid
Radiator.
After I was done, I closed the hood. This is what happened next:
-Car cracks and it starts, but immediately dies.
-Tried again and this time, I turned the ignition and it takes about 3 second before the starter kicks in and all it does is cranks… no starting
-I let it sit there for 5 minutes and number 1 happens again.
You know how you hear the fuel pump (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) when you turn the ignition on? Well, this one is not doing it.
What do you suggest I do?
Thank you! |

start with battery terminals and move to the ground connections, especially those in the front PS wheel well area. You should be able to find one for the starter and one for the battery. |

So, I checked all the relays, swapped them around (the matching ones) and nothing no zzzzzzzz sound from the fuel pump. What other suggestions our there? Does is sound like a bad fuel pump? Is there a way to test the pump?
Any one know the part number for an OEM or after market fuel pump?
