Check the relay if it clicks its good,if u hear the fuel pump then check for pressusre with a pressure gauge on the fuel line near the engine,and also replace the fuel filter ,they sometimes make the fuel pump go bad

I have already replaced the relay and still the pump won't cut on. Also should the pump run if I just ground it and plug it in without installing it?

Hello I have a 2001 chevy cavalier and yesterday morning I tried to start my car and turned over the key and it did absolutely nothing. There was no clicking or winding noises only noise I heard was my fuel pump kicking on. All my lights are working normal and so is my radio. I tried jumping it just to make sure it wasn't an issue with my battery but it still wouldn't start. What could be the problem? 9 Answers

I am having problems starting the truck. Right now if the vehicle sits for a couple of hours it will not start unless I spray some starter fluid in the TB. THere are no diag codes. Have checked / replaced the MAF, MAP PVC. But once the vehicle is started it runs like a champ. If it does not sit long it starts right up. Thought maybe it was a tank of bad gas have run fuel injector cleaner thru the tank. Have not replaced the fuel filter yet. Any suggestions........ 1 Answer
