My car died on me yesterday and now not only is it not even trying to start, but nothing happens at all when I turn the key... no dash ligts, no fuel pump noise, nothing I cant even get it to pop start! I've checked my battery erminals and everything is fine there... has anybody dealt with a problem like this before? This car is my only mode of transportation, so I need to et it back on he road a.s.a.p. and I would greatly appreciate any advise or educated guesses...

 

Dont know if this will work for you but sometimes the battery terminal connections get corrosion that builds up where the connector meets the terminal. Rip the connections off and clean the metal with a wire brush. Make sure it shines on both the batter terminal and the connector.

Also, check your grounds.

 

Welcome to the world of blown main relays, population, everyone with an EF.

Time to change that main relay, or resolder it. Either way, it needs you to do something to it.

Mine is on the way out again. It works, only when it's not really hot. And I'm assuming in Santa Rosa CA it's freaking hot out. Without it, no fuel will travel your lines, you won't be able to push start it cause no fuel is flowing. Simply give it a little tap with your finger, and just keep turning the key over, and over, and over (just from acc to start) until you finally hear the fuel pump kick in, that main the relay is making connection again, common problem, don't freak out!
