crank but no start
 
Drove the car from my gas place today into work. Stopped at a Sunoco to grab a drink and came back out to start. It fired but didn't stay running. Tried cranking it again but thats all it does. It seems like its not firing at all or theres no fuel there. I took a plug out after i got it home after trying to start it and its dry. Called Don and he told me to check the Ign and Fuel relays. I swapped them out with the Fan relays since they are the same but that didn't work either. Cant check the shrader valve on the fuel rail since they are Fast rails and not stock ones. Fuel press gauge in the car reads 42lbs but that hasnt moved ever since buying the car so i don't even know if that works. There doesn't seem to be a hot-wire kit. Has a racetronix 255 fuel pump in the car but since theres a tree mulching company outside i cant her if the fuel pump kicks on to prime. I also tried unplugging the maf to see if that was causing it. Checked all the fuses and they are all good. Well now im kinda stumped on what it could be. I think its a fuel problem but im not sure. Anyone have ideas? Bueler?

Is there spark at the plugs? And thats WICKED shitty the fast fuel rails don't have a shrader valve, where does the gage for fuel pressure inside the car run to? could you hook it up there somehow?


:edit: wait till the the people next door quit making noise to see if the pump primes lol

I'm the only one home so I can't crank and see if there's spark. These guys are going to town on those trees so it might be awhile. I looked along the rail and only saw the feed line to the rail from the tank. No idea where the sender is for the gauge. Ill go out later since I really dont wanna look at the car right now lol.

Check fuses

Already did. None of them are blown. I'm thinking fuel pump but gotta wait til these assholes across the street stop making noise.

Lol, seems like a good hunch, id double and triple check the fueses and relays just to be sure, cause pulling the pump isn't exactly an "easy" job, unless you trap door it lol
