got up this morning and washed the car, after washing tried to start it to move it and it wont start. Also, I notice that my car doesn't turn over as soon as I turn the key I have to hold the key turned for a sec or 2 before the engine would turn over. before I use to could hear the pump prime when I turn the key to ACC position, but dont hear that anymore, what could be the problem?

 

bad ignition switch?

would that stop the pomp from priming though? I was think along the lines of a relay or something

 

i believe your main relay has to get the signal from your igntion switch to say ok, turn on

after doing a mian relay search and reading some of the replys, it seems as if that the problem, I'm gonna go ahead and take it out (once I can find it in my CL) and change with another one to see what happens

90% main relay, take it out, check to see if there are any dry joints on any of the joints then re-solder. My problem has gone.

Any queries give me a shout

 

bought a main relay, can hear it clicking when I turn the key, pump still doesn't prime. checked the fuel pump fuse, its good, checked all the damn fuses under the dash and all of them are good. fuel pump been in the car for about a month, sometime the car would take long as hell to start, sometime it wouldn't, now its been down for a week. I need it up and running, where do I go from here...? do resistor boxes ever go bad? just wondering of all the possibilties that can cause this
