I was driving down the road and all the sudden my car dies and i coast to a stop. I tried starting it and it wouldn't start, i couldn't hear the fuel pump come, so i thought it was the main relay. pulled the main relay and tested it and it worked fine. We sprayed starter fluid in it and it tryed to but i'm pretty sure its the fuel pump, but the ecu wasn't blinking the first blink when you turn the key on. . Don't want to have to put a fuel pump in when i doesn't need it

Help

 

Check your timing belt. I had the same thing happen to me and my timing belt snapped.

 

It's not the timing belt, i'm not getting power to the pump or the ecu

 

Does the "check engine" light stay on when trying to start?
If so check this fuse:

 

is it throwing a code? If so, let us know what it is.

No power to the ECU? Start at the fuse box under the hood and go from there.

 

The ecu starts to get hot when you leave the car on

 

ttt anyone have a clue

 

pull your cap off and see if your coil is burnt

would i get sparks on all my wires if that fuse is fried?

 

I'll try that but why would a burnt coil stop the fuel pump from kicking on

ECU dead?

 

If your getting spark at your spark plugs then it is not your coil. It's most likley an electrical problem, so check all your fuses. And if you still havent gotten anywhere, come ask us.

 

Checked all the fuses and checked the ecu and all is good, also the main relay is.Is there a ignition relay

 

Is the alternator solenoid vavle the same thing or 2 different thing, because i was looking at the fuses and who ever had it before me had a 15amp fuse instead of a 10 could that have fried the alternator and not let the ecu and fuel pump get power

Possible, but WHAT caused it to blow that fuse, or suposed to blow a 10amp. They just dont go for no reason, but Replace that fuse with the right amprage, ASAP.

 

I already changed the fuse, could it have shorted the alternator becuase some guy had the same problem and it was that fuse

 

TTT

 

there is a starter relay...its located under the dash i believe there is a red/black wire and a blue/black wire and 2 black ones maybe its just a little box over on the far driver side pretty close to the door...that might have gone out

 

I'll pull that and try and check it
