Hello Fellow brickers:

My trusty ole' 245DL with 295,000 miles on it decided to not start yesterday. I think she is mad at me cause I haven't been driving her that much lately!

Started fine on Saturday and drove it around the block and parked on the street. Tuesday night, went to drive her home back to the driveway and at first started for a second then died. It was cold out. Tried to start again and no luck.

Engine cranks over just fine but doesn't seem to be getting any gas. I was very low on gas so I put two gallons of fresh gas in and still no start.

Any suggestions on where to start looking for problems before I tow her to the shop.

Car has been very reliable and I've owned her for the last 100,000 miles. Prior owner did all maintenance at dealership. Since I've owned it, all I've had done to it are tune ups, new clutch, oil changes every 3,000 miles and battery.

During the summer when very hot, the car did have a warm start problem after running for while when engine was warmed up.

Fuel pump? Relays?

Thanks for the help in advance.
