Whats goin on guys? Yesterday I was driving my car, pretty hard, then all of a sudden the engine dies; the revs go to 0 and i'm coasting. I thought I blew my motor, but what the culprit seems to be is the fuel. I try cranking the car, but after multpile tries i realize that no fuel is getting sprayed. Did I blow my fuel pump? What can the the culprit be? I know my motor isn't blown for sure.

how did you determine no "fuel is getting sprayed"

 

There is no noise from the fuel pump when you turn the key to the number 3 position.

 

check the fuel pump fuse

Sounds like you answered your own question. Try taking the intake arm off of the throttle body, have a friend try to start it while you spray some brake cleaner into the TB. If it goes to start, you'll know it's a fuel issue.

Edit: Or what ^^^ he said

That's what I was thinking.

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? If not, get one. Also see if your injectors are clicking on and off.

I don't know how many miles are on your car. If you have high miles, the main relay can be going bad. Take it out and clean the soldering points with alcohol. If you have a helms, it will show you how to run resistance through it with a volt/ohm meter to see if it is faulty or not.

 

Out of gas, maybe?

 

The fuse turns out to be allright! This is now frustrating me. The car has 60k miles. Another thing I forgot to mention is that my windows don't go up or down. Its not the battery for sure since it was replaced recently, but all the other accessories work like radio, interior/exterior lights, etc. I did install a push start button though. You think this has anything to do with the starting mechanism? I mean the car cranks, but doesn't start and I don't think its the starter. I've tried push starting it even, but it dies right when its about to start. So there's something wrong with the fuel, but i don't know what or where. BTW, is the fuel pump fuse in the interor of the car right underneath the driver side knee bolster?

How did you determine the fuse is okay if you don't know where it is?

 

I just want to make sure there weren't any more than one location.

 

if your engine just died, maybe a ground fell off somewhere. double check your fuses, including the window fuses.

can't remember if fuel pump noise will happen but you won't get any fuel if you disconnect the ecu.. double check all fuses (engine bay and underneath the dash). if you can get ecu from a friend, it doesn't even have to be obd2.. just ask to use both harness and ecu (as long as the harness is to fit for your year) and see if it starts the car. check all grounds especially anything related to s2000 button..
