My car wont start, even after replacing the fuel pump and strainer, it still wont work. No electricity is getting back to the fuel pump. Can you tell me what to do or where to look? Im getting a manual today and hopefully that will help me, but honestly I don't want to have to replace anything else on this car.

Are you missing anything besides fuel? Engine cranking, do you have spark at the spark plugs? Can you check for applicable trouble codes?

It is possible there could be a sensor problem that is causing relay/s not to function? A code might point to that problem? Do you have an obd 2 code reader?

I can give you the wiring diagram or your fuel pump, if you want it?

Yes please give me the diagram. As far as I know the sensor for the fuel gage works and it says I have a quarter of a tank of fuel. How do I check for the codes? I honestly don't know mechanics very well with this car, its different from most others that I've dealt with. I don't have the obd 2 code checker

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
