#92719, "HELP....car won't start."


          

Ok I just got the car back from the storage, it's been there for about a year. I have no license.

OK the car isn't getting any gas to the fuel rail, I have pushed the nipple button on the rail and no gas comes out, nore can I hear the fuel pump kicking on. Does anyone have a way to test the pump or any idea of why it wouldn't be working all of a sudden? Is there a fuse for the pump? Cause I found a few fuses popped but I can't find one for the pump.

Any help would be greatful.

who put the car in the storage? im guessing they might have taken out the fuel relay its on the firewall if facing the car to the right driverside, should be 2 or 4 of them. also you can pop your rear seat and take the plate off the fuel pump cap and unplug it and check for power there. a year is a long time but i doubt anything broke or went bad in a year while not being used

OK I put the car in storage, the relays I know about are there. I took off the cover on the pump and I can't here it kicking in, I am going to go out and test for power to it now. What you are saying is the relays are for the pump? There arn't any fuses?

ASD and fuel relays on the firewall by the brake cylinder. I had the same problem, sometimes it would start, sometimes it wouldn't, and sometimes it would even cut off on me while driving. I replaced the two relays (some cars have 2, some have 4, depending on options) with some DEI relays from Circuit City (work) and it's been good for 2 years now.

Anyone know where I can get these relays for cheap...I just spent all my money on body work.
