sometimes when i try to start my car it will crank but not start and when i just turn the key to the on position the fuel pump isn't coming on and the check engine light does. after i sit there for about 30 seconds the fuel pump will turn on and the check engine light will go off and it will start. and sometimes like today i was washin the car at a friends and it wouldn't start at all...the check engine light stayed on. i replaced the main relay and it still does it. sometimes it will start right up and sometimes the light will stay on and it won't start. any ideas??

 

whens the last time u checked ur fuel filter. might wanna consider a new pump. check the voltage to the pump.

 

i'm bout to do a full tune up...gonna get fuel filter, water pump, timing belt, spark plugs and wires, and maybe a fuel pump.

 

I am having the same fricking problem....Its really pissing me off. I need to be at work in an hour and the damn fuel pump is being retarded.
