I have a 98 3.2 Intrepid. It has been running fairly well until tonight when my wife parked it then tried to start it a few hours later. The engine turns over strong but for some reason it does'nt seem to be getting fuel to the intake. I have checked the plugs, battery, alternator, and all electrical connections to the injectors and fuel system, they all seem to be ok. I have however had an electrical problem with the car such as the inside lights comming on randomly, gauges jumping all over the place and electric windows sometimes working sometimes not. I was wondering if this sounds more like a relay problem for the starter or if it simply a bad fuel pump or something more serious. I also checked all the fuses in the fuse box from what I can see they are fine.....help!

1. Do this disconnect a plugwire and ground it to the engine while cranking it over-do you have spark?

2.Crank engine over while listening to the injector/s is it clicking?

3. When you turn key to On position-do you hear the fuel pump.

Give me an answer for this and comeback
