cranks, sparks, no fuel HELP!!!!
Ok so I've had my car at the shop for close to a month now and just recently it hasnt been starting. I thought it was because theres no gas in the tank. So i went out there yesterday and first try it started up. I left it running for 15-20 mins and then left to get more gas. The gas light was on but i dumped 2 more gallons in there and when i went to try to start it would start. It cranks and theres spark, i checked the evap valve and no fuel came out. Is it a fuel pump or is it a relay?

I had similar symptoms just 3 months ago, and it was the pump relay uner the steering wheel.
I'd start there to.
Advanced auto has two of them listed, I got the cheaper one and it has been fine. You will need the OEM number for it. There is 2 differant part numbers. Get them both. It was a special order but only took 2 days to get in.

ok im going to check if its the relay or if its just short ground. This can happen because i just got the radiator support painted and when i put all the grounds back i dont know if it was touching metal to metal or if the paint is causing the shortage.

by no means do i want to thread jack...BUT...
is the fuel pump relay the noise that sounds when you turn the key to II?
bcuz the sound has changed from crisp to long and drowned out...as if a battery going out on an electronic device.
Also, the car is taking longer to start on the initial crank. Could this be the beginning of the exact prob above??

Just did it this morning. Car wasn't starting, and I needed to get to work. About 20mins later, car started and I am at work right now. Good luck.
