Ok guys so last night my car was running just fine I got home went to bed blah blah blah and now this morning it won't fire up it cranks but won't start we did have a little rain last night idk if that would affect anything. Anyways I checked the ignition fuses and they all seemed to be good I'm lost on these cars please help me thanks in advance and I do have new plugs and wires and fuel filter
 


It doesn't crank slow no.. And I couldn't hear the fuel pump I tried listening for it... But even if it was the fuel pump wouldn't my car have started for just a second with the fuel it still had?
 


Pull the fuel pump resistor and bend out the 83? tab and see if it stays running. If that doesn't work then unplug the maf and see if it runs.
 
make sure that all of your vaccume lines are connected. i was having a similar issue the past two days along with other issues. noticed that one of the plastic vaccume lines cracked (due to excessive heat i believe) fixed it and now it seems to be running fine, it atleast stays started.

Dan.. won't help. The high speed relay is used when priming the fuel system. The resistor is low speed and kicks in when the car starts. Therefore it should start and die if the resistor is at fault.

OP. Turn the key to on and press down on the valve on the fuel rail. Do you get any fuel spurting out? If not, check your fuel pump fuse.

If that has fuel. Remove one plug wire at the coil pack. Try starting it. You should hear a loud zapping noise of the spark jumping.

Let us know what you find.
 


Elk, please start a new thread of your own wtih your symptoms listed. It's very uncommon for the relays to be an issue.

It's very uncommon for the relays to be an issue. ok, but wouldn't it have been a lot nicer to have just wrote this <<<<<
 


I was nice. Had I wanted to be mean, evil or even just rude, I would have locked the thread and said.... start your own newb.

Instead I suggested starting your own thread, which would tell us all your actual symptoms and give us a better chance of pinpointing the issue for you quickly instead of having you freeze to death (it's winter here) testing relays that don't typically fail. My suggestions are from experience (most of the time) and aimed at getting your car running for the least amount of money and time. I'm usually a very helpful guy, with an occasional bit of sarcasm.

Sorry if I stepped on your kindergarten achievement award when I suggested posting a thread for only your issues. (Now... that you can say, wasn't nice). I even said please!
