I had this car running about a month ago, right after I changed the alternator belt. Used an old battery to jump start it. Let it run for about an hour, shut it off. And have not been able to start it since.I replaced the MAP sensor and Fuel Pump Relay. There is a new battery, and I even took the connector off the fuel pump and took a test light to see if there was any power coming into the plug and I get nothing. Any ideas on this?

Hi:
If the relay is good and you have no power to the pump, you must have a broken wire or bad ground. If you have a test light, check for power grounding the test light to a reliable ground. If there is still no power, you need to work backwards until you get power.

I'll assume the fuse is good. Also, don't make any sparks near the fuel tank!
