#76179, "HELP....car wont start!"


          

I got in the car today, and i usually hear the fuel pump prime itself, but no go on that this morning. I tried messing with the relay under the hood and i tried messing with the plug on the pump itself, no go. I even tried turning the key on and off multiple times to see if it was just a bad connection somewhere, no go. Where can i buy the fuel pump relay, and what could be the causes of the pump not priming itself? The car ran find yesterday, and i guess this could account for the shitty starting in the morning. Maybe the fuel pump is bad?

Well it could be the relay or the pump itself. Buy one of those cheap light testers and see if the pump is getting power if it is it's the pump, if not it's the relay. Have you done the fuel pump rewire mod????
