I went out to drive this morning and my car would not start. The car turns over but does not catch and I dont hear the fuel pump starting . I think it may be the Fuel Pump or hopefully just the relay but I can't seem to find either one. Any help or advice would be appreciated.. Thanks

Hi hfa2341 and welcome to 2carpros

Check the MFI relay 2 under left side of center console. This the one that powers the fuel pump and the computer energizes the relay. You will have to remove the console to get to it

See the guide below on testing relays, it will help you

Relay location is attached below
