Here's the story. Car started and ran well a few weeks ago. Went to start one day and it cranked but wouldn't fire (ran the car out of gas in the driveway a few days earlier). Put gas in no fire (maybe a random fire once and a while), so I left it. Started troubleshooting and found out my fuel pump didn't prime (pump) anymore. I jumped the fuel pump at the fuel pump relay and it pumped. I went to try and start and it was cranking slow. So i left it for the night. The next day I pulled a plug to **relieve pressure** (that wouldn't matter since its fuel injected) then went to go start it and no cranks at all not even a noise but the dash lights came on like normal (seemed like the clutch wasn't being pressed in).

This is what i know:
Battery at 12.48 volts
Starter turns when jumped with a piece of metal
All car lights and dash lights work and radio
Engine is not seized
No sound from starter at all

This is what iv done so far:
I tried boosting the car with another car
Put the plugs back in
Messed with the relays on the drivers side firewall

Heres what might be wrong:
I was messing with the relays on the drivers side firewall (fuel pump relay).

Any input will be appreciated
Thanks

The problem was a fuse above the drivers legs. I still have a fuel pump issue. I ordered a new fuel pump relay.. Ill see if that is the problem.

What do you guys think? I jumped the fuel pump at the relay and it pumped. So it must be the relay then right?

Awesome-X

sounds like it

Did you check your fuel pump fuse thats hidden kinda deal. Mine was where the battery is so check there for a plug looking thing that is a fuse before you order the relay. Its worth it to check it since if thats it you spent unnecessary money and still got the problem.

Yea I know about that fuse I blew it up about 3 times trying to jump the starter. Its in a little sealed canister. I got the relay and its working now.. Now all i need is some more gas i think as it stalls right after starting. Ill let you know.

Hopefully everything works and it wont stall out I remember mine used to start and stall out a few seconds later because of a module on the distributor.
