Car refuses to start ...

[Derek Pulvino]

Arun,

I think it's called sh-- happens.

You could always crack open one of the connections where the fuel lines meet
the fuel filter.  This would tell you if there's pressure, but I think
insufficient pressure would have the same effect as no pressure.  Either
way, this may get you closer to seeing if the pump is working.

Maybe you could also try jumping the relay to see if the pump will operate?
Tell you if you have relay problems.

Isn't there a statistical word for this?  I'm experiencing a cluster of
low-probability events:



I'm guessing fuel pump's toast.  Any other ideas?  What's the simplest
way of finding out if the fuel pump is indeed dead?  The fuse is good,
but I can't hear anything with the ignition on.  I've done this on my
5KT once before, but memory's the second thing to go :(

Thanks for listening!

-Arun
