internmittent no-start - URGENT stuck at service plaza 200

posted by  someone claiming to be david s. on  Fri May 28 13:34 CST 2004 [RELATED]

ok guyz,

so i have had this no-start problem exzactly twice. Ignition OK, spark, everythin OK, fuel pump does not kick in. Tow it to local friendly mechanic, guy cleans fuel pump relay, car starts and runs fine.

two days later, supermarket parking lot, same symptoms. took it to same mechanic, who cleans connectors and stuff, car runs fine. for some weird reason, he didnt charge me a cent for that either time. and insisted on not replacing the relay which i found weird.

now, it died for the third time (after 2 weeks of working purrferctly), with my girlfriend being stuck at a Western Mass. service plaza, dammit! should i just REPLACE the damn thing finally? or any other ideas what can it be? im PRETTY sure its fuel pump related.... i hope its the relay and not the pump itself....

David
