But, really this Forum has so much to offer for new comers if you serch.

When you say it won't start that is not a good enough explanation. Does it crank or just click, or what.

Ne way back to the topic. My friend told about something that might have gotten some mositure arounf because it was rainning at the time when it did not want to start. Somewhere by the rotor, cuz when i went back to the parking lot and try starting it was good

Maybe you flooded it.

Take EGI INJ fuse off and crank it few times (if your veh cranks) and put the fuse back in and it should start if the cause was flooding.

If you turn the ignition to the on position, you should be able to hear the fuel pump turn on. Listen to the rear of the car(toward the trunk inside) as you first turn the key to the ignition position, it'll make a sound as it builds up pressure, then turn off in preperation for starting. If there is no sound, check the fuse, then the relay, and then the fuel pump.

anybody knows if theres any other fuse or relay for the fuel pump? i checked the relay by the driver side and it works, i checked the fuel pump manually and it works, but with the switch it doesn't.
