about a week ago, i was doing about 65 on the highway and it felt like i just took my foot off the throttle. pulled over, it started up once then died. now i havent been able to get it started since.

so far ive replaced the main relay and the battery. both didnt help, ive checked for voltage at the fuel pump and sometimes i get nothing and sometimes i get 2-4 volts. im not sure if my multimeters dying or if the cars just being sporadic.

anyone else gone through anything like this? id appreciate any help i can get.

 

How are your grounds, especially the one on the thermostat housing?

 

all of the grounds look decent.

i tried scuffing up the one on the thermostat with some sandpaper the other day but that didnt help

 

Sounds like a bad ground or wiring issue.

Also MAKE SURE your multimeter is infact working correctly. A couple weeks back somebodys car was charging up to 19 volts, it ended up being a bad craftsman multimeter.

Do you have a kill switch wired to the fuel pump?

Do you have gas? Sorry i have to ask. I trust you probably do.

 

i dont ahve a kill switch. fuel was actually one of the first things i thought of so i ran to the gas station and filled up a gas can and tried that. didnt help, same thing.

 

is your check engine light coming on?

 

it comes on then goes away and the main relay makes the three clicks it should while doing so

 

I recently had the same problem (pump not priming) after a new main relay had the same issue turned out to be a bad pump.
